Georg Andreas Reimer, owner of the Realschul-Buchhandlung in Berlin, to whom he sends the first manuscript delivery for his anthology "Romantic Forests", "under which I wish, as among the two equals, to be the forerunner of Lacrimas (as with the Niobe). If you have thought of a vignette to the book, then my wish would be directed to the following. By chance, Bayer [?], because of a scaffold placed in the chapel of Sixtus at the time of his stay in Rome, could copy a divinely beautiful head of the Sibille of Michael Angelo, and he and the painter Genelli, who own a drawing of it, would show us the pleasure of making a outline of it...." that he has not yet sent the entire manuscript, but there is a suitable copyist missing in his rural area.
