[Blatt 1r]
SCHINDLER [having returned to Beethoven's apartment in Windmühle; 12 noon or shortly thereafter, Thursday, January 30]: [fragmentarily legible entries on this page] … why bank shares are also secure, he says. // He didn't ask me about anything, because he knows that I always tell him the truth, as he deserves it. [//] [Blatt 1v: no writing] [Blatt 2r] [I] reminded him immediately that he might expedite it right away. // When you are completely well, you might honor him with a visit again. //
Concerning France, he referred me to the secretary, Schwebel, who is to expedite it right away. // And, he says, it is better that someone hands it directly to the Sovereign himself. [//] [Blatt 2v]
When I drove out here with Bach the other day, I already told him about your brother's letters. Therefore he was very annoyed yesterday that I had not immediately turned to him then. //
I spoke with Baron Drechsel, who is very intimate with Tettenborn, and he told me that <the general> he believes that the [great] moment in his heroic life was his entry into Hamburg [during the Napoleonic Wars]. But he will ask him expressly which moment he believes to have been the most important. [//] [Blatt 3r]
Would you be so kind as to tell me your birthday? // <The great honor of eating with you is, for me, the greatest and—the Best.> //
What are the prospects for your sinecure, then? // That you don't come too late. //
[Abbé Maximilian] Stadler is Dietrichstein's instrument and counselor. //
I encountered Clement, who sends you his regards. He told me that you have already spoken with him about the Akademie. [//] [Blatt 3v] There is a swelling [or: growth] on his finger. //
She is speaking of the housekeeper who, in the summer, did not stand for it when the residents laughed when Your Honor went for a walk in the garden. // Sunday. // As overnight lodging. // It depends on where one wants to have it—in the suburb it is until Jakobi [St. James's Day], but in the period of Georgi [St. George's Day]. [//] [Blatt 4r]
