Summary
[Inside Front Cover]
BEETHOVEN [presumably at his apartment on the Josephstädter Glacis; the morning of Monday, March 20, 1820]: [From] March 20, 1820.
Machine to keep on hand
Collars for shirts
Hand towels
You will find everything on the Spittelberg, so that you can easily set up an apartment [Blatt 1r] without furniture.
Bedding can also be bought down from the [Leib-]garde.
Perhaps retain a room of the apartment as soon as it is known what others cost. Spar has his seal on his [polishing] wax bottle. [Blatt 1v]
Cardboard for your hearing; this machine, muted, would be better than brass.
[Blatt 2r]
Spar's polishing wax, Wiplingerstrasse [sic], next to the Wasserdichten [waterproof]
hats [shop].
Sonnenfels, 792 Untere Backerstrasse.
Fine, pure smokeless lamp oil; 48 kr. per pound; Wiplingerstrasse. [//]
[Blatt 2v]
UNKNOWN: A candle lasts 6 to 7 nights. [//] 1 lamp with a package of wicks, for a half year, 2 fl. [//]
[Blatt 3r]
[A DIFFERENT] UNKNOWN: <This is the old letter.> [//]
BLÖCHLINGER [presumably at his Institute; probably the afternoon of Monday, March 20]: I am very obliged to you for the 2 bottles of Cyprus [wine]. Karl could use Tuesdays and Saturdays from 6 o’clock on for playing the piano. //
Bernard was [at the celebration] until 5:30 in the morning; he was very cheerful.
[//] Bernard, my teacher, my son-in-law, and I diligently philosophized and drank.
[//] [Blatt 3v]
Karl could also use from 5 o’clock [in the afternoon] on the aforementioned days for it. //
We’ll want to let it go until the examination is past. // It will be a week from today. [//] Bernard will also come here for it; he promised me to do it. //
Wouldn't you like to attend the theater? [//] [Blatt 4r]
Herr v. Czerny lost himself yesterday, about which I am very concerned, because
I fear that he might perhaps be offended by something. [//]
Wouldn't you like to take a seat? [//]
