Beethoven informs Treitschke that he is not able to deliver anything to the Leipzig publisher at the moment. The letter is written in a humorous manner and contains a short musical text ("Scheut euch nicht" WoO 205f).
The publishing house mentioned is probably Carl Friedrich Peter's Bureau de Musique. Peters might have wanted to enter into business dealings with Beethoven via Treitschke, who was born in Leipzig.
After Peters had also tried to do so via the Viennese publisher Steiner in 1822, he finally wrote a personal letter to Beethoven in May 1822.
