Reporting on the success of a concert the previous evening, at which he conducted Rietz's overture to Hero und Leander and the [Altdeutscher] Schlachtgesang, that Schumann was there and sends his greetings, offering a few criticisms of the compositions--the Overture has a certain spirit that Mendelssohn knows all to well, since it proved unsuccessful in the Reformations-Symphonie--, saying that Schumann asks for the score of Hexenküche, mentioning his Paul, Lobgesang, Härtel, Schleinitz, an aria by Mozart, André, Hofmeister, etc.
