Nice to know
Receipt for the 25 gold ducats which Beethoven had paid back to his publisher S. A. Steiner. Haslinger signs the receipt as he is an employee at the publishing house. In the text Beethoven uses the usual joking terms for himself, Haslinger and Steiner: he refers to Haslinger as "Adjutant" and "L-l" (Lumpenkerl - bastard), Steiner as "G-ll-t" (Generalleutnat).
