1p, 12mo. Bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'J. M. Muller Esq'. In fair condition, lightly aged, with closed tear along one of the two folds and slight creasing at foot, with a panel lacking from the second leaf. The recipient Johann Martin Muller published a few piece of music in Edinburgh in the 1840s. Thomson begins in the hope that if Muller is 'disengaged next Saturday evening' he will join Thomson 'at Seven o' clock sending Beethoven's Sonatas, & Trios; in which case I would beg of you to take the trouble to send the accompanying Note to our friend M Boisragon, as I do not know where his lodgings are.' He asks to be informed on the matter, and in a postscript writes: 'Please to put into my Note to Mr B the hour at which you can come 7 I hope.' Laid down on the second leaf is a newspaper cutting regarding the 'Death of George Thomson, the Correspondent of Burns'. The 'M Boisragon' of the letter is the singer Conrad Boisragon of Cheltenham, who according to one source 'became known as Conrado Borrani on the London opera scene of the 1840s'.…
