	My friend! Just imagine, I'm still stuck in [[Piter]] due to ill health. And it's a strange sort of illness: a ''runny nose'', but combined with a fever, queasiness, etc. I've been intending to leave every day and have had to put it all off; I've not even left the house here for several days now in order to hasten my recovery — but there's nothing I can do. My mood is decent, because everyone assumed I had left long ago, and I've seen no-one besides [[Modest]]. But being unwell is ~~objectionable~~ and a waste of time. Forgive me for not writing, but I haven't written anything at all. I hope to leave on Tuesday 28th. I'll be stopping off for a day in [[Berlin]], and then going directly to [[Paris]], where I'm staying at ''Rue Richepance, 14, Hôtel Richepance'', where I ask you to write to me, and please, golubchik, concoct a letter for me with a variety of details.

When he receives the performance fee, he'll take the 100 rubles from it. I saw [[Nápravník]]: he was awfully kind and gracious.

Друг ты мой! Представь, что все ещё сижу в Питере по нездоровью. И нездоровье какое-то странное: ''насморк'', но сопряжённый с жаром, тошнотой и т. д. Каждый день собираюсь уехать и все откладываю, а теперь вот уже несколько дней даже не выхожу из дому, чтобы поскорее выздороветь, — но никак не могу. Состояние духа порядочное, ибо меня уже давно все считают уехавшим и, кроме Модеста, я никого не вижу. Но противно быть нездоровым и терять время. Прости, что не писал — но не до писанья было. Надеюсь уехать во вторник 28. Остановлюсь в Берлине на один день и проеду прямо в Париж, где поселюсь в ''Rue Richepance, 14, Hôtel Richepance'', куда и прошу тебя написать мне, и пожалуйста, голубчик, смастери мне письмецо с разными подробностями.

Денег вышла у меня масса, часть золота пришлось продать, а когда и этого не хватило, я решился на героическое средство, т. е. взял 100 р[ублей] у Осипа Ивановича, за что прошу не сердиться на меня. Когда он будет получать поспектакльную плату, то возьмёт из нея 100 р[ублей]. Был я у Направника: страшно мил и любезен. «''Орлеанская дева''» готова, но Каменская нездорова и все откладывают. Ты получишь из Каменки мою записную книжечку, в коей отмечены эскизы оперы, и по получении тотчас перешли её мне в Париж.

Обнимаю тебя, голубчик, и поздравляю с Нов[ым] годом. Всем твоим передай поклоны и приветствия.
