Comment on 18.6.1806

I.e. the works for Christiansborg Palace, see the related article regarding this. As he goes on to say, Thorvaldsen had been promised commissions for the palace already at the beginning of 1804, so here he is asking Abildgaard, a little impatiently, to try to find out what is happening in the matter.
Thorvaldsen’s cohabitant C.F. Høyer was a little more direct in his request to Abildgaard to secure commissions for Thorvaldsen, see his letter of 18.6.1806.
