Wohlgeborenhaben mir auf mein gestriges Schreiben mündlich sagen lassen, Sie wünschen die Bedingungen, unter denen ich Ihnen meine Lieder verkauft habe, noch einmal zu wissen. Obwohl ich mich wundern muß, daß diese Ihnen entfallen sein sollten, wiederhole ich sie Ihnen doch hier, zur Vermeidung von Misverständnissen: 10 Louis d'or und 6 Freiexemplare von den beiden Heften. Ferner haben Sie mir heut früh geschrieben, es sey der Ordnung gemäß mir das verlangte Honorar erst nach dem Erscheinen des Werks zuzusenden. Von dieser Ordnung weiß ich nichts, und kann auch durchaus nichts der Art eingegangen sein, da es sonst in Ihrem Belieben stehn würde, die Herausgabe so lange als möglich zu verzögern. Eine der Bedingungen von Ihrer Seite war, das Manuscript binnen 3 Wochen öffentlich erscheinen zu lassen, und da gestern 4 Wochen seit Ablieferung des einen Liederhefts verflossen und noch nicht einmal eine \die/ Correcturen fertig sind, so kann ich nicht umhin, nochmals auf meinen gestrigen Brief zu verweisen, und Sie zu ersuchen das Honorar, das Sie der Ordnung gemäß mir bey Ablieferung des Manuscripts hätten geben sollen, gegen die Quittung die Ihnen der Überbringer nach der Bezahlung einhändigen wird, zu übersenden. Von der Rechnung bitte ich mir erst den üblichen Rabatt abzuziehen.

Although I am surprised that these have slipped your mind, I'll repeat it to you here to avoid misunderstandings: 10 Louis d'or and 6 free copies of the two issues. Furthermore, you wrote to me this morning that it would be in accordance with the rules if the requested fee were only sent to me after the work has been published. I don't know anything about this rule and it can't be that I went into something like that, since otherwise it would be at your discretion to keep the publication for as long as possible to delay. One of the conditions from your side was that the manuscript appears publicly within 3 weeks. Since 4 weeks passed yesterday from the delivery of a songbook and not even corrections have been completed, I can't help but refer again to my letter from yesterday and ask you to send me the fee.
