	Well [[Tolichka]], I'm still here! But at least it's some consolation that the end of my enforced stay is in sight. [[Tanya]]'s condition is now such that I'll certainly be able to leave at the end of next week; in all likelihood, I'll be leaving on the 6th or the 7th. I'll be stopping in [[Berlin]] on the way, and consequently I'll be in [[Petersburg]] around the 10th, and will stay for a few days in order to avoid the coronation in [[Moscow]]; because I'm now in such a mood that I need silence and rest, and I'm terribly afraid of the festivities in [[Moscow]]. Then I'd like to make my way to you in [[Podushkino]] as soon as possible. You won't believe how pleased I was to read in your last short letter that I'll have a room, and in general there's a corner waiting for me. I'm feeling very much homeless now. You know that you'll also have to accept [[Alyosha]], because I can't ~~leaving~~ him alone. This means that you'll have to support and feed two people for some time. Your modest budget doesn't allow for this, and I insist that you accept my contribution for a share of the food, and even part of the payment for the dacha. Although I'll be poverty-stricken and destitute when I return to Russia, I have to arrange my affairs one way or another, and in any case, I would feel constrained and embarrassed if you didn't take anything from me. Once again I had to demand 1000 rubles from [[Pyotr Ivanovich]]. I'm terribly ashamed and embarrassed, but what can I do! To write to [[Kamenka]] concerning the most complex operation that she had to have, and which cost an incredible sum, would mean killing [[Sasha]] outright, and dealing a terrible blow to [[Lyova]]. Generally, what would be the cost of her upkeep with two people looking after her, the doctors, etc. This is impossible to imagine. But for God's sake, all this is between us, and not a word about the operation to anyone.		Well [[Tolichka]], I'm still here!
