Miss Mounsey presents her very best compliments to Dr Spohr, and begs to offer a set of songs1 lately published for his acceptance; she could not have intrused them upon his notice, had it not been for this kind and encouraging manner to her when a very little girl some 25 years ago.2
Miss M. was deligthed to see Dr Spohr, looking so well last Evening, and she hopes this hearty reception proved to him how much his admirable Oratorio & its estimable Author are esteemed by an English Audience.3
Miss Mounsey has had some Sacred Concerts under her direction for 5 years; „The Fall of Babylon“ „The Last Judgement“ and the Crucifixion have been often gleaned from on those occasions4; are there any Sacred Songs, duets &c not belonging to his large works that Dr Spohr could name, as Miss M. may probably have to preside over another series next winter, and she has excellent opportunities of procuring Music from abroad: if Dr Spohr wants devote a few minutes to inform her, she would be very grateful. – Miss M. will inclose an old programme of these Concerts, that the kind of music required would he better understood.
Miss Mounsey want have done herself the pleasure of calling respcting this subject, but she feared to instruse upon Dr Spohr.
