28/X [October 28]

Dear friend! I was very glad to hear from you. What is this—you are ailing too often? With whose permission? And how will you pursue serious musical study if you behave so badly? I hope you have recovered thoroughly—soon you will have a passion for traveling—we shall meet somewhere and I shall have the chance to hear your singing.

Regarding the Central Organ[2]—[I have] passed [this on]. (Don't worry about the typeface and printing—it's not needed now).

Still, you will arrange a concert sometime for the benefit of the revolution—surely not otherwise?*

Best regards! Your V. U.
