Ради Бога простите! Я совершенно забыл вчера, что уже гораздо раньше назначил на сегодняшнее утро деловое свидание, которое отложить оказывается невозможным. Мне ужасно досадно и совестно перед Вами, тем более что ехать сегодня необходимо и другого случая познакомиться с «Морем» не буду иметь до осени.

Обнимаю Вас от всей души!

Искренно преданный,
