Получил сейчас от Ивана Васильева письмо Ваше со вложением, книги и портреты. За все это бесконечно благодарен Вам. Позвольте мне, милый друг, отвечать Вам на ''письмо'' сегодня вечером. Письма наши разошлись. В то время, как я читал Ваше, Вы, вероятно, читали моё. Портреты тоже я бы хотел оставить себе на один день.<br />
<br />
До свиданья, милый друг мой!<br />

Благодарю Вас за часы! За все!<br />

I've just received from Ivan Vasilyev <ref name="note1"/> your letter with the enclosure, books and photographs. For all this I am infinitely grateful to you. Please allow me, dear friend, to reply to your ''letter'' tomorrow evening. Our letters have crossed. While I was reading your letter, you were probably reading mine <ref name="note2"/>. I should also like to keep the portraits for another day.<br />
<br />
Until we meet, my dear friend!<br />
{{right|Yours P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />
Thank you for the watch! For everything!<br />
