"Lieber Herr Kugel!
Wann kommt Herr Holmann? – es ist wegen der Probe. –
Spielt er umsonst? – Wenn für Honorar, keinesfalls mehr als 100 fl. Dieß muß ich im Interesse unserer Herrn sagen; von mir aus müßte jeder Künstler gut bezahlt werden, aber ich kann nicht mehr thun.
Mit bestem Gruße - Ihr ergebener - Hans Richter
Die Noten bringt natürlich Herr Holmann mit."
Translated:
"Dear Mr. Kugel!
When is Mr. Holmann coming? – it's because of the rehearsal. –
Does he play for free? – If for a fee, under no circumstances more than 100 florins. I have to say this in the interest of our gentlemen; As far as I'm concerned, every artist should be paid well, but I can't do more.
With best regards - yours truly - Hans Richter
Of course, Mr. Holmann brings the notes with him."
