LIND, JENNY
Autographed letter signed twice ("Jenny Lind"), four pages, on a bifolium, Hannover, February 14, 1850, in German.
The Swedish Soprano (1820-1887), known as "The Swedish Nightingale," writes to the Kapellmeister Pott at Oldenburg, the famous violinist, expressing dismay to learn that he has abandoned plans to put on a concert and indicating that she is nervous to sing at her upcoming programme due to illness. On the final leaf she thanks him for his most recent letter, which she had just received before sending her reply.
9 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches folded.
Estimate $ 200-400
Property from a Private Chicago-area Collector
Translation:
I am quite out of spirits, that yu have abandoned your own concert. If I had only guessed this, I would not at all have minded to go to Oldenburg.
I am going to Oldenburg only for your sake, and now you are obliged to make such a sacrifice for me. This circumstance has thrown away all my courage, and as besides I have caught cold, I am afraid I shall not execute well my program.
SHall I have a good room at the hotel Erbprinz (?). My best compliments to your wife.
Your truly devout and grateful,
Jenny Lind
Hannover, 14 Feb. 1850.
How you are kind! I have just received your third letter. You will play in my concert, how charming, receive my best thanks for it, Good bye!
Your devoted,
Jenny Lind - Shipping Info
