Summary Baermann writes to Jähns in delight that his friend is still able to work. Baermann reports that he has ‘had to abstain from any exciting and strenuous work for a long time’. He also relays the news that his family is well, except that his daughter Therese lost a child to diphtheria two months previously. Baermann then discusses Jähns’s suggestion that Weber’s Peter Schmoll was performed in Munich in 1802, which Baermann disputes. He also reports that he has visited Franz Lachner on Jähns’s behalf, to ask the source of a theme Lachner uses in an (unidentified) Suite. He closes with best wishes for Jähns’s health and his family.
