Autograph letter signed, dated : Weimar May 13 1872, to an unidentified publisher, 1872 May 13.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/270668164

Thanking him for sending the French edition of Bach's chorales (annotated by Gounod), asking for Erk's selection of 77 chorale melodies with texts, commenting on Gounod's notes, pointing out a skillful change from minor to major--Liszt writes out the two measures from the chorale in question--expressing the hope that the two Bechstein pianos will arrive soon at the house of the Baroness von Meyendorff and Frau v. Helldorf.
