Autograph letter signed "Sch." : Weimar, to W. G. Becker, 1804 Feb. 20.

Apologizing for not answering sooner due to illness and the task of completing "Wilhelm Tell." He praises Becker's "Augusteum" and hopes that the Elector of Saxony will support it; he feels he cannot accept the gift of his first volume without rendering some service in return.
