“[...] Mellem disse ere imidlertid et Par ganske enkelte nye, blandt andre eet, som man siger er ganske godt, nemlig: et Blomster Alphabet, dersom De kan bruge det, nu da omtrent paa samme Tid det kommer i de samlede Digte, maa De med Glæde faae det, men først om to Dage, da jeg mangler to Bogstaver X og Z, som jeg nu gaaer paa Rov efter. [...] Tilgiv at dette Brev er lidt afjaget, men jeg har i Dag Correctur paa Digte og paa gamle Eventyr!”

(ENG: “[...] Between these, however, are a few quite new ones, including one, which they say is quite good, namely a Flower Alphabet. If you can use it, now that it will come out at the same time in the complete poems, you must joyfully receive it, but only in two days time, since I am missing two letters, X and Z, which I will now go scavenging for. [...] Forgive that this letter is a little hastily written, but today is scheduled for editorial work on Poems and old Fairy Tales!”)
