{{centre|Дорогая, добрая, милая Эмилия Карловна!}}
Простите меня, ради Бога, — мне невозможно сегодня у Вас обедать, ибо как раз в это время я неизбежно должен быть на репетиции моего трио, которое сегодня исполняется в концерте. Очень, очень сожалею и умоляю не сердиться. Не будете ли Вы сегодня в концерте? Очень интересный концерт, и я бы очень советовал. Если же я сегодня вечером Вас не увижу, то говорю Вам: до свиданья, крепко целую Вашу ручку и прошу в следующий мой приезд не отказываться принимать меня в наказание за сегодняшний обман. Лелю Карловну и Сергея Евграфовича сжимаю в своих объятиях.
{{right|Ваш, П. Чайковский}}
P. S. Вчера на меня произвела {{und2|колоссальное}} впечатление ''Ермолова'' в новой пиэсе Шпажинского. Право у неё есть искра ''гениальности''. Непременно побывайте в Малом театре, когда дадут опять эту пиэсу.

Ещё раз до свидания. Я страшно сожалею, что не могу побывать у Вас сегодня. Завтра утром уезжаю.

|Translated text={{right|''25 October''}}
{{centre|Dear, good, and kind [[Emiliya Karlovna]]!}}
Forgive me, for God's sake — it is impossible for me to dine at your place today, because, as it happens, at that very time I must without fail attend the rehearsal of my [[Piano Trio|trio]], which is going to be performed at this evening's concert <ref name="note1"/>. I am very, very sorry about this, and I implore you not to be angry. Will you be at the concert this evening? It is a very interesting programme, and I would very much recommend it. But if I do not see you this evening, let me say to you now: goodbye, I kiss your hands warmly and beg you not to refuse to receive me when I next come to Moscow, as you might be inclined to do by way of punishing me for my deception today. Here's a hug from me for Lelia Karlovna <ref name="note2"/> and Sergey Yevgrafovich <ref name="note3"/>.
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}
P. S. Yesterday ''[[Yermolova]]'' made a {{und2|colossal}} impression on me in [[Shpazhinsky]]'s new play <ref name="note4"/>. She certainly does possess the spark of ''genius''. You must definitely go to the Maly Theatre the next time that this play is performed.

Once again, until we meet! I'm terribly sorry that I cannot come to you today. I'm leaving tomorrow morning.
