Summary Baermann writes to Jahns briefly, on account of his poor health. He confirms that certain additional bars in the finale of Der Freischutz, which were omitted from various contemporary performance materials including those in Munich, were reinstated by von Bulow. Baermann relates the birth of two further grandchildren to his daughters Marie and Therese, bringing his total to 9. He signs off stating that his doctor wishes him to refrain from letter-writing.
