Between this and the beginning of August I shall fix on my next place of abode, which will, in any case, not for the present be a large town, because I want retirement and work above all. Briefly speaking, my situation is indicated by this dilemma: Either my marriage takes place, and that soon or not. In the former case, Germany later on, and especially Weymar, may still be possible for me.
To all these excellent arguments I had but one answer: "For Weymar it is a duty to give Wagner's works when and as far as it is possible in accordance with the wishes and intentions of the composer." And, behold! in spite of all the previous chatter, the decisive success of yesterday has been wholly in favour of my assertion.
The King going in August, 1637, to Chantilli, Grotius went thither to compliment him on the success of the Campaign; and at the same time recommended to his Majesty the sending a reinforcement of men to the Duke of Weymar, who had crossed the Rhine, that so he might be enabled to make farther progress, and to keep the German allies of the two crowns from joining with their enemies.
Grotius replied, that he did not doubt but the Duke of Weymar would shew all possible deference to the King's inclination, if he should find his Majesty disposed to procure Marshal Horne's discharge, and that the Queen had written to the Duke on that subject.
Live happy in the enjoyment of your power, my great, splendid Richard. Remember me very kindly to George, and let me soon hear from you. Your WEYMAR, July 25th, 1853. Till August 15th address Carlsbad, then again Weymar. Cordial thanks, dearest friend, for your cheerful letter. I am half ashamed of the dismal mood which prevented me so long from writing to you.
I cannot possibly come to Dresden for the present. May God grant that the state of your affairs turn out to be such as to enable me to offer you my small and much-enfeebled services, being, as I am, Your sincere and devoted admirer and friend, WEYMAR, July 4th, 1848 Cordial greetings, and best thanks for the many and manifold troubles you have taken on my behalf.
The important fortress of Brisac having been obliged to surrender to the Duke of Weymar in the end of the year 1638 , Grotius went to compliment the King on that event: he first thanked him for sending reinforcements to the Duke, and afterwards enlarged on the advantages of taking Brisac, the conquest of which contributed to the security of Burgundy and Champaigne, facilitated the preservation of Lorain, the towns of Alsace, and the liberty of the Swiss, and, in fine, enabled them to make farther progress in Germany: he concluded with beseeching his Majesty to order the money promised, to be paid to the Swedes, that they might put Marshal Bannier in a condition to accomplish what might be of service to the King.
Let me soon hear something of you. Your WEYMAR, January 15th, 1852.
Do not misinterpret my stopping at home for the present; there is not an atom of laziness or egoism in it mats tout bien considere je dois faire ainsi, parceque cela vaut mieux pour vous and I feel convinced that, later on, you will agree with me. Your WEYMAR, August 14th, 1860.
The management for this occasion spends about 2,000 thalers, a thing that has not been done in Weymar within the memory of man. The press will not be forgotten, and suitable and seriously conceived articles will appear successively in several papers. All the personnel will be put on its mettle. Nothing essential will be wanting in the musical material or design.
