Transcription Spohr-Briefe (see below)
Summary Spohr thanks Baermann for news of the success of his opera Faust in Munich and expresses the wish to hear it performed by the Munich orchestra, which he esteems. Spohr asks that von Poißl be informed in return that his opera die Prinzessin von Provence was received favourably in Kassel, and suggests that his own relationship with Poißl seems to have deteriorated.
