			There's no need to talk about the [[Kondratyev]] saga to strangers, for example, Lvova.

			P. S. I wrote this letter yesterday, and today I've had a change of plan. I'll be going to [[Petersburg]] on Sunday, rather than Thursday. But I still won't be at your birthday. I can't express how much I don't want to leave here yet. There are still so many things I have to do urgently in [[Moscow]]!!!

			If you're moving on Friday, then I'll stay with you for two days.
