''Святловская'', уезжая за границу, просит разрешения приобресть экземпляр «''Чародейки''». Так как она вероятно будет одной из исполнительниц, то я ничего не имею против того, чтобы она получила оперу. Я, хотя наврал ''Сен-Сансу'', что нездоров, — но тем не менее мои нервы действительно крайне утомлены усиленной работой. На этой неделе кончу и привезу 4-ое действие. Вероятно, в пятницу или в субботу я буду в Москве.

А пока до свиданья.

{{centre|Dear friend!}}
''[[Svyatlovskaya]]'', leaving for abroad, has asked if she might obtain a copy of "''[[The Enchantress]]''" <ref name="note1"/>. Since she will probably be one of its performers, then I have no objection to her having a copy of the opera. Despite having lied to [[Saint-Saëns]] about my health <ref name="note2"/>, my nerves really are extremely frayed from working too hard. This week I'll bring you the completed 4th act <ref name="note3"/>. I'll probably be in [[Moscow]] on Friday or Saturday.

Meanwhile, until we meet.
