Nice to know
Ries apologises for not having had any time to visit Probst during his last stay in Leipzig. He will soon complete the third quartet and reminds the publisher of the price of 50 Louis d'or for all three quartets. Ries asks for a soon reply.
Possibly, the compositions mentioned are the three quartets op. 150, that were published in 1828, however, not by Probst in Leipzig but by Simrock in Bonn.
