==Text and Translation==&lt;br /&gt;

|Original text={{right|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Флор[енция]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;31/19 марта}}&lt;br /&gt;
Мне целые две недели очень нездоровилось, я очень ослаб, и потому прости, что пишу лишь записочку в ответ на твоё письмо от 12-го. Завтра пошлю официальное письмо в дирекцию. Само собой разумеется, что предыдущее было совершенно частное. Пусть как хотят меня считают — &amp;#039;&amp;#039;выбывающим или имеющим&amp;#039;&amp;#039; выбыть, но пусть знают, что приглашение кого-нибудь, кроме &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Брандукова&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, не может состояться, пока я считаюсь директором. Оно может совершиться, когда я уйду, и если моё заявление не будет принято к сведению, то я буду&lt;br /&gt;
считать себя оскорблённым.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Завтра я высылаю тебе 2-ое действие оперы. Спасибо за обещание денег. Я тебе в своё время дам знать, куда их выслать. Ты спрашиваешь, скучно ли мне читать твои письма? Помилуй, они полны глубокого интереса!&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Твой, П. Чайковский}}&lt;br /&gt;
Ратер прислал мне превосходные аранжементы Кирхнера из балета. Жаль, что они не у тебя.&lt;br /&gt;

I&amp;#039;ve been very unwell for two whole weeks, I am very week, and therefore forgive me for writing only a brief note in reply to your letter of the 12th &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. Tomorrow I&amp;#039;ll be sending an official letter to the directorate &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. It goes without saying that the previous one was completely private. Let them consider whether they wish my leaving to be &amp;#039;&amp;#039;resigning or retiring&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, but let them know that inviting someone other than &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Brandukov]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; cannot happen while I am to be counted as a director. That can happen when I have left, and if my petition is not to be taken into account, then I will be considering this an insult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I&amp;#039;m sending you the 2nd act of the opera &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. Thank you for the promised money. In time I&amp;#039;ll let you know where to send it. You ask whether I consider your letters tedious? I beg your pardon, they are entirely fascinating! &lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rahter]] has sent me Kirchner&amp;#039;s outstanding arrangements from the ballet  &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. A pity you don&amp;#039;t have them.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes and References==&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Letter from [[Pyotr Jurgenson]] to Tchaikovsky dated 12/24 February 1890.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;This letter to the directors of the Russian Musical Society in [[Moscow]] has not survived. Tchaikovsky&amp;#039;s recommendation that [[Anatoly Brandukov]] be appointed to the vacant position of cello professor at the [[Moscow]] Conservatory had been over-ruled by the director of that institution, [[Vasily Safonov]], causing Tchaikovsky to offer his resignation.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The vocal-piano reduction of the opera &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Queen of Spades]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The German composer and pianist Theodor Kirchner (1823-1903) had arranged several numbers from &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Sleeping Beauty]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; for solo piano. No copies of [[Daniel Rahter]]&amp;#039;s edition of these arrangements have come to light, but they was printed by [[Jurgenson]] between August and October 1890.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
