"Sehr geehrtes Fräulein,
Die kleine Concertsache soll, so gut ich es vermag, nächstens besorgt werden. Gelegentlich erlauben Sie mir wohl auch die etwas argwöhnige Andeutung ihres Schreibens: `es kostet ja nur ein Wort um ... etc` zu berichtigen.
Als aufrichtig dankbarer Freund ihres verehrungswürdigen Herrn Vaters [der Theologe Gustav S.] verbleibt Ihnen stets,
bereitwilligst ergeben - F. Liszt
26ten August 73 - Weimar"
Translated:
"Dear Miss,
The little concert thing should be taken care of as best I can as soon as possible. Occasionally you may also allow me to make a somewhat suspicious suggestion in your writing: “It only takes one word to correct... etc”.
As a sincerely grateful friend of your venerable father [the theologian Gustav S.], you always remain,
most willingly devoted - F. Liszt
August 26th 73 - Weimar"
