Zusammenfassung
Ries is still busy rehearsing the performance for the Lower Rhine Music Festival in Aachen when Wegeler announces the engagement of his son Julius Stephan Wegeler (1807-1883) with Josephine Linz-Simon (1813-1889). Ries congratulates the couple and asks the bride for "respect, a little bit of love and affection". (The wedding took place on September 16th, 1834 (cf. Gerhard von Breitenbach, Die Nachkommen von Carl Clemens Wegeler, 1993). (FG)
