Description

Schumann orders her watch and keys to be "delivered to court conductor Hermann Levi"

ALS in German, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 8.5, June 23, 1878. Handwritten letter to "Mrs. Landau," in part (translated): "Again, I have to ask you a favor. I left my watch in your nighttable and two keys. Please, would you kindly send all of it to Munich, to be delivered to court conductor Hermann Levi. I am very sorry to bother you, I do not understand my negligence…Our trip was very pleasant…Since my departure I spoke immediately on behalf of the governess for the Belgian family and I thought one should first of all write to ask what the demands will be, also at the same time one should inquire about the pay." In fine condition, with writing showing through from opposing sides.
