P.S.-Pleaseapologize to Herr v. Kees for want of time preventing my sending him the new symphonies.

The two grand new symphonies shall be ready by that time; to become the exclusive property of the Society.

The six new symphonies commissioned by Salomon were performed, and the previous set were also repeated, along with some new quartets.

New symphonies are heard and reviewed without reference to Mahler.
