Dear Mrs Moscheles,

At the present moment you have no doubt already met my young
pupil and friend Julienne Orwil. I hope she will have
presented herself to you. I have spoken so much of you, of
Mr Moscheles, of your goodness and your kindness (qualities
which are not always found together in the same person) of
your household etc. She therefore knew that she could pay
you a visit without fear of being badly received. I hope
the dear child will not have been too frightened in front of
the public of Gerard Lans and that she will have sung as she
can. I earnestly recommend her to you as one of the most
charming persons that I know. She is goodness personified

I am greatly looking forward to seeing you again at the end
of the month. I shall come and see you on my arrival. So
long as you yourself are back. I have been told that
Clarita is still in England. A pity I should have been
delighted to embrace her also.

Goodbye then dear Madam, kindly accept the respects and
regards of my husband. He will not have the joy of seeing
you. He will return to Paris with all the family whilst I
alone with my maid will take the road to Leipzig.

A thousand very affectionate regards to Mr Moscheles and
believe dear friend in my devoted and sincere
feelings. Signed Pauline Viardot
