|Original text=Баташечка! Я и забыл совсем, что решительно не могу у Вас обедать, ибо раньше дал слово ''Шпажинскому''. Ради Бога, простите! Заеду к Вам, может быть, сегодня, если поспею, а нет, так сговоримся обедать у Вас при первом удобном случае.<br />
<br />
Поздравляю, целую руки.<br />

|Translated text=[[Aleksandra Hubert|Batashechka]]! I completely forgot that I categorically cannot have dinner with you, because I'd previously promised ''[[Shpazhinsky]]''. For God's sake forgive me! Perhaps I'll come over tomorrow, if I can make it, but if not then I'll arrange to have dinner with you at the earliest opportunity.<br />
<br />
Congratulations <ref name="note1"/>, I kiss your hands.<br />
{{right|Yours P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />
