PREFACE III. The following letters A letter from Wagner to the head of the Sehott firm at Mayence. Signor Sgamhati gave me a reproduc- tion of this letter, and it is with his sanction that I translate and give a considerable portion of it to the public. Two letters from the Fraulein Hummel, who, at my request, were kind enough not only to give me their written assurance that the lock of Beethoven's hair and the pen which he last used are in the possession of their (the Hummel) family, but still further verified my reference to the same by giving the dates of the visits to the dying musician during which her grand- parents (Hummel and his wife) came into possession of these 'precious relics.' IV. An interesting sketch of Henselt's life and career from the German of La Mara, an author whose '<strong>Musical</strong> Portraits,' and other works referring to music, are highly valued in musical circles abroad. : This sketch contains a long letter by Henselt written in early youth, two letters by Schumann, written before his marriage, and several by Henselt, which are highly characteristic of him. It is with the author's permission that the above sketch is here given. V. Copies of letters from Eubinstein, Liszt, and Von Billow, handed to me for translation and publication by Frau Mila, of Berlin (Henselt's niece by marriage).
