The letter from 1859 presumably to the composer Julius Rietz (1812-1877) on the preparation of his opera "Georg Neumark oder Die Gambe" (text by Ernst Pasqué). In response to a request from the addressee, Dingelstedt stated that "your opera has already been elaborated in the way you and the author of the text have requested, and is currently being studied under the direction of Mr. Lassen. If you want to honor the first performance, where possible also one or the other of the last rehearsals, by your presence, this will not only be pleasant to me, but will also be indisputably conducive to your artistic interests ...". The letter from 1858 to a "highly well-born" concerns an invitation to the celebration of the jubilee of the University of Jena. "... Should the latter prefer to pay the highest lords of our court the promised and well-appointed visit in a less noisy time, it would be advisable as such to recommend Schiller's birth celebration, which we celebrated on the 10th of October. In 1858 Carl Gustav Carus and Karl were among the founding members of the Schiller Foundation in Dresden, among others. Gutzkow. - Folding cracks and other minor marginal defects.
