Summary
Wishing him good morning and saying that she dreamt kindly of him; expressing her hope that he is feeling better and no longer needing to watch his diet, and assuring him that she will have nothing at her "little feast" tomorrow that will harm him; stating that she is curious to know when he will give her a long promised violin solo, that she would enjoy an Allegro, and suggesting that he add something of the sort to his next "artistic afternoon"; remarking that his 117 thousand votes oblige him to sing many things on every note, as he is not a barrel organ but a great symphony.
