Tips to Andernach 50 „ to Coblenz Tolls to Andernach 42 Tolls to Coblenz These last three items are not carried out, and Beethoven now takes the book and adds the items of the “Tolls to Andernach” thus: Sinzig 7 St(über) Reinicke 5 St. Preissig 10 St. Norich 4-1/2 St. These 26 Stüber, changed into Kreutzers, make up the 42 in the column above. On the next page he continues: (Page 2) Coblenz, tolls 30 x Rothehahnen (Red Cocks) 24 x Coblenz to Montebaur 2 rthlr. and 1/2 d Tolls for Coblenz 48 x Tip because the fellow drove like the devil right through the Hessian army at the risk of a cudgelling one small thaler Ate dinner 2 fl.

The other hand now writes: The same money for meals and tips, besides 12 x road money to Wirges. The entries of the second and third pages are now changed into florin currency and brought together, making 22 fl. and 14 x; add the expenses on the first page to this sum and we have a total of about 35 fl. from Bonn to Würges for two young men travelling day and night, and no doubt as economically as was possible. The next entries are by Beethoven’s hand in Vienna, and we are left to imagine his arrival in Frankfort and his departure thence _via_ Nuremberg, Regensburg, Passau and Linz in the public post-coach for Vienna. Proof will be found hereafter that he was in that city on or before November 10th, and that Schindler (Vol. I, p. 19) therefore confounds this journey with that of 1787, and is all wrong when he says “they travelled very slowly and the money which they had taken along was exhausted before they had traversed half the journey.” FOOTNOTES:
