	You will be surprised that I'm writing to you again. I wish to soothe your publisher's heart somewhat. Today I read in the newspapers that the "[[The Tempest]]" was in fact only hissed by one person. They also hissed ''[[Saint-Saëns]]''.

Ты удивишься, что я опять тебе пишу. Мне хочется несколько утешить твоё издательское сердце. Сегодня я узнаю из газет, что шикал «Буре», в сущности, только один человек. Он же шикал и ''Сен-Сансу''. Посылаю тебе вырезку из газеты, которая подтвердит тебе это известие. Вообще, с свойственной мне способностью всякие свои маленькие невзгоды видеть в очень преувеличенном свете, я преувеличил и неуспех «''Бури''».
