|Original text=Меня так беспокоит один вопрос, что я решаюсь Вас побеспокоить, прося ответить мне лишь одно слово: ''да или нет''. А именно — я не знаю, получили Вы первое моё большое письмо, посланное в первый день Вашего пребывания здесь. В письме этом были подробности об «''Онегине''» и многое другое. Ради Бога, извините, милый друг, за беспокойство. Счастливого путешествия.
