	I've been unwell the whole time in [[Moscow]]. As from yesterday I started to take quinine. I have something of the sort that I had in [[Rome]]: a fever with a constant suction in the pit of my stomach. However, a mere trifle. Today I'm already quite the ''convalescent''. I'm leaving today for [[Nizhny]], [[Astrakhan]], [[Baku]], [[Tiflis]]. I beg you, golubchik, to ~~drop in on the way~~ [[Ippolit]], to make amends for my deception. Indeed I think that you will find it pleasant to spend a day there. If you are especially in need of money because of the journey, then you may take 200 rubles for July and August from ''[[Osip Jurgenson\|O. I. Jurgenson]]''. I have given instructions. With that, until we meet in [[Tiflis]]. I hug you, [[Nikolay Konradi\|Kolya]] and [[Bob]]. I beg the latter not to forget me and to write a little to me occasionally.

Все время в Москве мне нездоровилось. Со вчерашнего дня стал принимать хинину. У меня что-то вроде того, что было в Риме: лихорадка с постоянным сосанием под ложечкой. Впрочем, сущие пустяки. Сегодня я уже вполне ''конвалесцент''. Сегодня еду в Нижний, Астрахань, Баку, Тифлис. Прошу тебя, голубчик, на пути заехать к Ипполиту, чтобы его утешить за мой обман. Да я думаю, что тебе приятно будет провести там денёк. Если тебе по причине выезда особенно нужны деньги, то можешь взять у ''О. И. Юргенсона'' за июль и август 200 р[ублей]. Я сделаю распоряжение. Засим до свиданья в Тифлисе. Обнимаю тебя, Колю и Боба. Последнего умоляю не забывать меня и хоть изредка писать немножко.
