The Boston-based RR Auction house says the one-page German note was written in 1786 to Austrian botanist Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin, a close friend of Mozart's. It asks von Jacquin to send a messenger to return three scores of music: "the Quartet in G minor, the Sonata in Eb and the 'New Trio in G.'" The auction house didn't disclose the identity of the buyer.
