Становлюсь перед тобой на колени, молю простить мою надоедливость, но вместе с тем, вняв моей покорнейшей просьбе, исполнить три следующие посылки:

1) а) ''Сюиту'' в 4 руки, б) ''4-ую симфонию'' в 4 руки, в) «''Франческу''» в 4 руки, г) «''Бурю''» в 4 руки, и д) ''1-ый квартет в 4 руки'' выслать за границу по следующему адресу: ''Oberviller, par Sarreburg, Alsace-Lorraine'', à Madame ''Cerfbeer''.

2) Один экземпляр «Иоанны» выслать по следующему адресу: ''Italie, Florence, Villa Oppenheim, M[ada]me N. de Meck''.

3) Прислать мне сюда (''Киевск[ой губ[ернии] Черкасского уезда, мест[ечко] Смела, оттуда в Каменку'') следующие вещи {{und2|в 4 руки}}:
{{{!}} width=98%;
{{!}}  1) ''Сюиту''   2) ''4-ую симфонию''   3) «''Бурю''»   4) «''Франческу''»
{{!}} 5) ''Датскую увертюру'' 6) ''Уверт[юрy] «Воевода»'' 7) ''Сербский марш'' 8) ''2-ой квартет''
{{!}}}

Не сердись, что, посылая экземпляр M[ada]me Мекк, я отнимаю у тебя покупательницу. Во-1-х, она ещё купит несколько экземпляров, а во-2-х, теперь она просит, чтобы я ей выслал, и согласись, что ''мне можно'' ей поднести «Деву» даром. Пусть это будет один из моих экземпляров.

Что касается поручения 1-го и 3-го, то стоимость всех этих 4-ручных вещей потрудись записать в мой счёт.

Прости за назойливость.
{{right|П. Чайковский}}

''Вели, кстати, приложить к посылке сюда'':
:1) «''Дитя-пианист''» Мельцера и 2) ''Сборник'' Бухвостова и тоже впиши их в счёт.

I kneel before you and pray for your forebearance, while still asking you to heed to my most humble request to send out the following three parcels:

1) a) ''[[Suite No. 1|Suite]]'' for 4 hands, b) ''[[Symphony No. 4|4th Symphony]]'' for 4 hands; c) "''[[Francesca]]''" for 4 hands, d) "''[[The Tempest]]''" for 4 hands, and e) ''[[String Quartet No. 1|1st Quartet]]'' for 4 hands, to be sent abroad to the following address: ''Oberviller, par Sarreburg, Alsace-Lorraine'', à Madame ''Cerfbeer''.

2) One copy of "[[The Maid]]" to be sent to the following address: ''Italie, Florence, Villa Oppenheim, Madame N. de [[Meck]]''.

3) Send to me here (''[[Kiev]] province, Cherkassy district, hamlet of Smela, thence to [[Kamenka]]'') the following items {{und2|for 4 hands}}:

{{!}} 5) ''[[Danish Overture]]'' 6) ''Overture to "[[The Voyevoda (opera)|The Voyevoda]]"'' 7) ''[[Slavonic March|Serbian March]]'' 8) ''[[String Quartet No. 2|2nd Quartet]]''
{{!}}}

Don't be angry that, in sending a copy to Madame [[Meck]], I am depriving you of a customer. Firstly, she will be buying some more copies, and secondly, she has now asked for me to send it to her, and I've agreed that ''I can'' give her "[[The Maid]]" free of charge. Let this be one of my own copies.

As for the 1st and 3rd parcels, then kindly put the cost of all these 4-handed things on my account.

Sorry to be a nuisance.

''By the way, please add to the parcel coming here'':
:1) "''The Child Pianist''" by Meltser and 2) Bukhvostov's ''Collection'', and also add these to my account
