Summary
Receipt for payment of the annuity, which Beethoven drew from the Prince Kinsky's finance office every six months. Aside from his signature, a receipt also had to contain proof that he was still alive. This was usually undertaken by a priest's office (acting in an official capacity) and assured the prince's finance office that the bearer was still alive and therefore entitled to withdraw the money.
