Dear Professor,

In response to your esteemed letter of the 28th inst, we thank you for your kind information regarding Prof. Röntgen,¹ and are arranging for your [C.P.E.] Bach edition U.E. 548 to be dispatched to him today. We are also writing to him along the lines intimated by you.²

Now as regards the insertion of the small correction sheet [into Ornamentik ]: it was not possible to implement this for the first volumes to be ordered, but it will be inserted for the remainder of the edition.

As concerns the Instrumentation Table, we hope to release this within the next two weeks.³

We remain
With kind regards,
Yours truly,
