Пришли мне ''сейчас же'' мою «''Легенду''» {{und2|для хора}}, а также пришли «''Литургию''» и другие церковные вещи (3 херувимских и т. д.), кроме всенощной. Мне нужно выбрать вещи для американского ''Musik-fest''. Нет ли у тебя детских песен в издании ''Ратера''? Для «Легенды» мне нужен немецкий текст.

Касательно субботы и воскресенья собери, пожалуйста, точные сведения, кто да кто приедет, и привези мне в субботу от Лапина наилучших закусок по твоему выбору. Вино у меня только русское от Кристи. Для Зверева необходимо ''шампанское''; потрудись купить для него 2 бутылки ''Аи'', а для нас бутылок десять русского шампанского, которое для вкуса мы по-летнему сделаем с фруктами. Для сего мне необходимо: ананас, апельсины, мандарины.

Но лучше я напишу на отдельном листочке список нужных вещей. Обнимаю!
{{right|Твой, П. Чайковский}}
Пожалуйста, прости, что я наваливаю на тебя эту обузу. Если ты почему-либо в субботу не можешь выехать, то ''пришли мне все эти вещи'' с каким-нибудь человеком, которого за это я озолочу.

Но если ты во что бы то ни стало в субботу должен быть в Москве, то приезжай непременно в ''воскресенье''. Впрочем, я уже 3 дня не имею почты; может быть, там есть уже обо всем этом известия. Сегодня получу.

Please, forgive me for saddling you with this burden. If for whatever reason you're unable to leave on Saturday, then ''send me all these things'' with some fellow whom I will handsomely reward for this.

But if you must be in [[Moscow]] on Saturday come what may, then by all means come on ''Sunday''. Anyway, I've not had any post for 3 days, so maybe you have already sent word about this, and I might hear today.
