Какой ты лентяй! Хоть бы раз написал. Как вы все поживаете? Что Катя и крестник? Остался ли Коля у нас? Как твоё здоровье? Как растут цветы?<br />
<br />
Про себя ничего интересного не скажу. Скучно здесь ужасно, и я только о том мечтаю, как бы поскорей домой вернуться. Жара неистовая. Но здоровье, слава Богу, хорошо. Если бы не Боб, я бы ни одного дня не выдержал. Здесь же вместе с нами ''Прасковья Владимировна''. Это прескучно. Ну, больше писать нечего. Будь здоров. Напиши сейчас же несколько слов. Адресуй: Mr Pierre ''Davidoff, Hôtel Grande Bretagne, Vichy''.<br />
<br />
Целую Катю и крестника; тебя обнимаю. Коле и Татьяне поклон.<br />

{{centre|Dear friend [[Aleksey Sofronov|Aleksey Ivanovich]]!}}<br />
How lazy you are! You could have written at least once. How are you all doing? What about Katya and my godson?<ref name="note1"/> Has [[Kolya]] been to stay? How is your health? How are the flowers growing?<br />
<br />
As for myself, I've nothing of interest to tell. It's terribly boring here, and my only thought is of how quickly we could return home. The heat is intense. But my health, thank God, is good. Were it not for [[Bob]], I couldn't stand one more day. ''[[Praskovya Vladimirovna]]'' is here with us. This is most tedious. Well, there is nothing more to write. Good health. Write a few words soon. Address: Mr Pierre ''Davidoff, Hôtel Grande Bretagne, Vichy''.<br />
<br />
Kiss Katya and my godson; I hug you. Regards to [[Kolya]] and Tatyana.<br />
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />
