	Greetings to you in [[Moscow]]. I have brother [[Modest]] and his pupil as guests. Since they are staying for a little while, it's now impossible for me to go to meet you. Yet I still very much want to see you. Will you come over for the day on Saturday, or any other day you want? I should be ''awfully'' glad and will prepare be a little turkey soup. Please, my dears, do come. I'll be waiting eagerly for ~~you~~ reply. Earlier than Saturday would be even better, because then the examinations start and generally September will be full on.

Приветствую вас в Москве. У меня гостят брат Модест и его воспитанник. Так как они останутся недолго, то мне теперь невозможно выехать на свидание с вами. А между тем очень хочется повидаться. Не приедете ли ко мне в субботу на сутки — или в какой хотите другой день? Я бы ''ужасно'' был рад и суп из индеечки приготовлю. Пожалуйста, душки мои, приезжайте. Буду с нетерпением ожидать ответа. Даже я думаю, что лучше не в субботу, а раньше, ибо потом ведь экзамены начнутся и вообще сентябрь будет на носу.

Напишите сейчас же ответ.

Тоничку целую в губки (!!!), а Баташу в лапку.
