All to her intimate friend Auguste Marie Jäger (b. 1828; after 1859: Auguste Jäger, Edle von Jaxtthal, here addressed as "Gusti" throughout), a Viennese educator and the daughter of the famous ophthalmologist Friedrich Jäger von Jaxtthal (or Jaxthal, 1784-1871), Metternich's personal physician. Jenny Lind became close friends with Auguste during the season of 1847 and spent much of her free time with her and her family at their house in Vienna's inner city. The first letter is captioned in purple ink: "Abschrift eines Briefes von Jenni Lind, welchen ich ihrer Tochter überließ, 1889" (copy of a letter from Jenny Lind which I presented to her daughter [Jenny Maria Catharina Goldschmidt, 1857-1935] in 1889" - quite possibly in Auguste's own hand.

Zustand

Well preserved throughout.
