I appreciate your thinking of me! I will absolutely excuse any forwardness; your letter led me to investigate (& acquire) tickets to the Berlin philharmonic for later this month. As I have only just established my household in Berlin at a level that feels acceptable to me, an excursion to hear some excellent sonatas is, I think, what I need to feel at home for the next several months.

You are correct in that I am now in Germany — I arrived a few weeks ago, which has led me to miss both the Midsummer Ball and the Dashwood debut. I hope the events were to your liking.

I shall let you know what I think of the concert — thank you again for writing.
