Sehr geehrter Herr Professor!
Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre gütige Auskunft u. Ihre Order an Cotta, der mir nun Ihre Harmonielehre u. Kontrap. I sandte. Sehr bedauere ich, diese wichtigen Werke jetzt erst kennenzulernen, zumal ich jetzt auch nur mit Unterbrechungen mich einarbeiten kann. Nehmen Sie bitte mit diesen wenigen Worten vorerst vorlieb.
Mit Hochachtungsvoller Begrüßung [ sign’d: ] A. Halm

Dear Professor,
I thank you for your kind information and your directive to Cotta, which now sent me your Harmonielehre and Kontrapunkt I. I greatly regret getting to know these important works only now, particularly because I am able to familiarize myself with them only with interruptions. Please be satisfied for now with these few words.
With respectful greetings [ sign’d: ] A. Halm
