My dear Sir

I am very anxious to perform a selection from your Opera Azor and Zemira at the last Antient Concert for this season which is fixed for june 1^st and if it will not give you too much trouble I would feel greatly obliged if you could proceed(???) for me the instrumental parts of the piece I wish to perform and I will be most happy to pay for them and will send an order to any friend of yours in London or direct to Cassel.
I would require to have them here for rehearsal on the 26^th of this month May.
I had the pleasure of meeting you and Madame Spohr at dinner at M^r Sterndale Bennett in London the year before last.¹
I will gladly pay all the expences for copying, postage and carriage and trust that you will excuse the liberty I take in asking you to take so much trouble for a stranger and in the hope of a reply at your earliest convenience
I remain
My dear Sir
With [???] respect
Most faithfully your(?)
Jos. Robinson
Conductor of the Antient Concert Society Dublin
