In part (translated): "Allow me to recommend to you Miss Thimont, professor of piano in Vienne (Isère), who is very hopeful to take lessons from you. I beg you, do all that you can for her, as she is worthy in all respects of your interest, and I would be also grateful to you as if I myself were worthy of it."
