Thomas D’Almaine to Carl Maximilian Kind in London
London, Thursday, June 15, 1826
SIR,
The Committee for conducting the funeral of the late BARON von WEBER beg leave to inform you that the burial will take place at the Catholic Chapel of Moorfields, on Wednesday next, the 21st instant; and that your presence will be necessary at the residence of Sir George Smart, No. 91, Great Portland Street, at half past eight o’clock in the morning precisely; as the rules of the Catholic Capel require that the body should be at the door exactly at eleven o’clock. The Committee beg you will favor them with an immediate answer, and take up a mourner’s ticket from the Secretary at the Argyll Rooms, as it will be necessary to produce it on your arrival at Sir G. Smart’s.
No name can be added to the list of mourners after eleven o’clock on Monday morning.
THOMAS D’ALMAINE,
Hony. Secretary.
