Summary
Sending her the first “Danube letter”; saying it is only a narrative so it is not as interesting as the second one; telling her he was dying when he wrote it but that he tried to remain serene so as not to alarm his friends; telling her he cannot send the 500 verses she asked for; sending her an ode to love; saying he loves her.
