Bottesini to Giovanni Ricordi (Vicenza, 5 Sep 1845)

Preg.o Signore Giovanni Ricordi Editore di Musica in Milano Signor Arditi has given me the responsibilty of writing to you to ask whether Signor Ricordi would take the trouble of telling us the total rental fee for the music he sent to us for our concert which will finally take place on Monday the 8th. As the expenses for this concert are being split with the Impresario it is essential that we know the total cost of the music. Ci perdoni questo disturbo e col piacere di presto ringraziarla in persona ho l'onore di dirmi di Lei dev.mo Servo Gio.ni Bottesini
