'Oui, nous jouerons le Corsaire et deux autres morceaux (La Fête et l'adagio) de Romeo. / Si vous venez, soyez assez bon pour m'apporter les paroles allemandes de l'Absence et de La Captive que Mr Nieper (?) avait eu la bonté de me promettre et que je ferai chanter à Dresde'. Apparently unpublished: not in the Correspondance Générale, ed. Citron (1983-2003), where its existence is however surmised.
