Receipt signed by Beethoven

Receipt signed by Beethoven, dated Vienna, March 27, 1820, acknowledging receipt of a sealed letter from Olmütz, delivered through S. A. Steiner & Co.1 p., quarto (ca. 20 x 19cm). This receipt appears to relate to a letter from Archduke Rudolf to Beethoven explaining his departure from Vienna (BG 1375), although it is not clear from this receipt whether Beethoven is acknowledging this letter or another one containing money.
