Brief Summary:
Letter from Friedrich Schiller to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, written from Jena and dated 15 October 1799.
Detailed Summary:
Schiller begins by speaking of the baptism of his daughter, Karoline, before turning to Goethe’s adaptation of Voltaire’s Mahomet. He notes that of the French pieces, Mahomet is the best suited for a German translation, and that whilst he believes in the project he is hesitant to attempt the same with other French pieces due to their content and the formal difficulties that arise.
