("From H Artaria & C three hundred florins Viennese currency as remainder of the six hundred put at your disposal for H van Beethoven's invoice - Vienna 27.8 1820 /FrOliva")
Oliva had already been friends with Beethoven in 1810. Between 1813 and 1818 he was in Hungary and on his return stayed in Vienna between 1819 and 1820. As with many of his friends, Beethoven also used Oliva as a contact with the outside world and often asked him to run errands.
