Nice to know

In this lengthy letter to his friend Bernard Beethoven writes of the problems he is currently having with his nephew Karl and how he will deal with them. In a hard and unrelenting tone he gives voice to the usual reproaches and accusations against his sister-in-law (the child's mother), the authorities and officials involved, as well as against the educationalist Blöchlinger and even against his nephew.
