"Schloß Corvey 26. Dec. - 1871.
Eine große Weihnachtsfreude wurde mir heute noch zu Theil: Hirsche's herrliche Rede zur Enthüllung u. Bekränzung meiner Büste, aber leider nur in 2 Exemplaren. Sie würden nun meine Freude noch erhöhen, wenn Sie mir baldigst noch einige Exem-plare senden wollten.
   Was ist denn aus Ebeling's Idee geworden, nach Hirsche's Rede meine drei facsim[ilierten] Gedichte zu vertheilen. E[beling]schweigt davon u. – schickt auch nichts.
   Ihnen u. den lieben Ihrigen meine herzlichen Grüße! - HvF
"

Translated:

"Corvey Castle 26 Dec. - 1871.
I received a great Christmas joy today: Hirsche's wonderful speech concerning the unveiling and crowning of my bust, but unfortunately only in two copies. You would increase my joy even more ifyou would send me a few more copies as soon as possible.       What has become of Ebeling's idea to distribute my three facsim[ilated] poems after Hirsche's speech? E[beling] remains silent about it and – also sends nothing.
  My warmest greetings to you and yours! - HvF"
