Чтобы подольше сохранялся мой ''капитал'', находящийся у банкира ''Баташа и комп[ания]'', я желаю, чтобы Вы за мебель потребовали деньги от Юргенсона. Так как Вам самим заходить к нему некогда, то пошлите при случае за деньгами (стоимость всего, что Вы приобретёте) к Петру Ив[ановичу]. Он предупреждён.<br />

Целую Ваши ручки.<br />

In order to preserve my ''capital'' with the bank of ''[[Batasha]] & Co.'' a little longer, I want [[Jurgenson]] to give you the money you demanded for the furniture. Since you yourself have no time to call on him, then on this occasion you should send off for the money (the total value of everything you require) from [[Pyotr Ivanovich]] <ref name="note1"/>. He has been forewarned.<br />
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />
I kiss your hands.<br />
