If, in the meantime, I should get into difficulties, I should at once claim his protection. Therefore, please, please go to court at once! Help me and do what I wish. From Venice I shall write again; till then continue to love me. Your VENICE, poste restante. Depeche telegraphique. BERNE, Le 24 Aout, Tuesday, 1858. To RICHARD WAGNER, Geneva, Maison Fazy.
Donneaux was the Chef du poste and everything was in good order. Rubber vines were being planted in the forest and rubber shrubs in the clearings.
