"I couldn't get out of sending them [The Duke and Duchess Antonin] my F minor polonaise, which entranced the Duchess Eliza, so I entreat you to send it to me by the very next post, as I don't wish to be seen as impolite, and I don't want to write it from memory, dear thing, because I might write it differently to how it actually looks. You can image the Duchess's character, when I had to play her this polonaise every day, and she liked nothing better than the trio in A flat major.
