Content Summary

They meet on Wednesday or Thursday. There will be several people visiting, so he asks for the guest rooms to be in order, but it shouldn’t look like a celebration.

János Liebenberg

Montag in Wien[1][a]

Dem Mittwoch oder Donnerstag sehen Sie mich. Haben Sie doch die Freundschaft in denen Gastzimmern etwas nachsehen zu lassen, ob sich da alles1 vorfindet. Es kommen mehrere Leute zu mir: es soll aber keinem Fest wie es bis jetzt war, gleichsehen aber einer etablirten Ordnung, deshalb spornen Sie etwas die Madame Fehér,[b] die mir faul und dum zu sein scheint. Adieu

Széchenyi


[1] Széchenyi’s underlining with straight line.


[a] Because of the reference to a Wednesday or Thursday reunion, the letter is linked to the previous two, so it was written on the Monday after the letter of 10 May 1816.

[b] Probably the wife of István Fehér, court master in Nagycenk.
