The letter cites two works performed in Weisbaden on July 21, 1858 (R. Schumann's Quintet op. 44 and his melodramatic ballads op. 122). The address docket at the end references Carl Bogler, the organist and conductor, with whom Schumann was staying while in Weisbaden.

Ich bin nun heute so frei Sie zu ersuchen, mir für 8 Tage das Quintett mit Stimmen meines Mannes (Op. 44) und zwei Exemplare der Balladen "Schön Hedwig" und "Der Haideknabe" (bei Senff erschienen) zu leihen - ich gebe hier eine Soiree, wobei Beides zur Aufführung kommen soll. Ich hoffe bald Ihnen Alles selbst wieder //2// einzuhändigen, da ich nächste Woche über Frankfurt zurückkehre.
Mit freundlichen Empfehlungen auch an Ihren Herrn Bruder und Frau
