Autograph letter signed from Jakob Dont to Adolph Brodsky

Scope and Content

Jakob Dont thanks Brodsky for writing. Dont congratulates Brodsky on his achievement as an artist. Brodsky's conscientiousness and earnestness lead to true art and guarantee success. Brodsky has asked if he may come as a boarder to share Dont's country retreat. Dont cannot make a definite reply to this as he is between a journey and a stay in the country. In a postscript, Dont apologises for the late reply but Brodsky's letter has been lying around for a few days after the concert there. Dated 21 Mar 1875.
