Comment on 24.5.1822
As the letter is a draft by a copyist, the dimensions were to be added in the final letter. The relief Caritas, now in the Church of Our Lady, Copenhagen, cf. A598 measures 67,5×48,0 cm.
In the printed version of the letter the dimensions are as follows: “height 1 Alen [ca two feet] 2 inches, width 19 inches Danish measure”. (See also the related article about the weights and measures of the time).
Thiele has also reproduced the letter from the printed version, omitting the final P.S., cf. Thiele III, p. 147.
