M. G. Lewis an Goethe 21. 4. 1799 (Scott S. 1)

So long an interval has elapsed ... since I had the pleasure of seeing you, that probably you will have some difficulty in recalling the Writer of this to your recollection. If however you succeed in remembering me, you will also remember your kindness to me at Weimar ... Possibly, you may remember my showing you at Weimar a little translation which I had made of your Ballad of Erl-König.
