Модя! Извинись перед милой Мэричкой. Ей-Богу, свыше сил моих. Вперёд в дни оркестровых репетиций не буду назначать обеда. Прошу позволения обедать у них во ''вторник''. Мите Засядке скажи, что в 9 часов я буду ждать его в месте, которое он сам знает.
{{right|П. Чайковский}}
Попробую сейчас поспать. Был ты на репетиции? Я тебя не видел.

|Translated text={{right|''10 October 1887''}}
[[Modya]]! Apologise to dear Merichka <ref name="note1"/>. My God, I'm not strong enough. During the days of orchestral rehearsals <ref name="note2"/> ahead I'm not making any dinner appointments. Ask my permission to dine with them on ''Tuesday''. Tell Mitya Zasyadko <ref name="note3"/> that at 9 o'clock I'll be waiting for him in the usual place.
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}
I'll try to sleep now. Were you at rehearsals? I didn't see you.
