Dear Director, [2]

Please be apprised that as of this moment the song [?] compositions that I was told about have not yet been published by Simrock, nor are they included in the list of new publications. I { recto } have given instructions for them to be sent to me the moment they appear, and will then be sure to let [you] know.

Yours most truly,
