Content Summary

He is waiting for Liebenberg to bring the ivory-handled knives and forks, which he wants to have re-handled.

János Liebenberg

Lieber Freund, ich erwarte Sie täglich; indessen ist’s mir auch lieb wenn Sie meinem Nutzen in Zinkendorf betreiben: Kommen Sie aber nur bald[a] — bringen Sie die 2 Dutzend kleinen Halfen beinerne Messer und Gabeln – da ich sie hier faßen will laßen – leben Sie wohl –[b] Széchenyi


[a] In his previous letter, sent at the end of November, he also asked to arrive as soon as possible so that he could settle his financial affairs.

[b] Liebenberg’s numbering helps to date the letter: the previous two letters were 59/a and 59/b, this letter is numbered 60, so it was probably written in late November or early December 1816.
