We confirm receipt of the structural diagram for the second movement, and gathering VIII,¹ and have forwarded these immediately on to Breitkopf & Härtel.² Gatherings 5 and 6 are on their way to you by the same post for your imprimatur.

The displacement of page-number from p. 63 to p. 65 resulted from the insertion of the structural diagram for the first movement.³

Please return the proofs of the remaining gatherings by return. We remain
