WOLFGANG MOZART’S LETTER TO HIS MOTHER

Worgl, 13 December 1769

Dearest Mamma!

My heart is completely enchanted with all these pleasures, because it is so jolly on this journey, because it is so warm in the carriage and because our coachman is a fine fellow who, when the road gives him the slightest chance, drives so fast. Papa will have already described the journey to Mamma. The reason why I am writing to Mamma is to show her that I know my duty and that I am with the deepest respect.

Her devoted son Wolfgang Mozart
