Я пишу тебе с каким-то сладострастием. Мысль, что эта бумажка будет в твоих руках, дома, наполняет меня радостью и вызывает слезы. Не курьёзно ли в самом деле, что я добровольно подвергаю себя этим пыткам? Ведь на кой мне черт все это? Несколько раз вчера во время дороги я решался бросить и удрать, но как-то стыдно вернуться ни с чем. Вчера мои мучения дошли до того, что пропал &amp;#039;&amp;#039;сон и аппетит&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, а это у меня великая редкость. Я страдаю не только от тоски, не поддающейся выражению словом (в моей новой симфонии есть место, которое хорошо, кажется, её выражает), но и от ненависти к чужим людям, от какого-то неопределённого страха и черт знает ещё от чего. Физически это состояние выражается в боли нижней части живота и в ноющей боли и слабости в ногах. Ну, конечно, все это проделывается в последний раз в жизни. Иначе как за огромные деньги и не более как на 3 дня никуда не буду ездить. Ведь мне ещё 2 недели здесь торчать! Они мне кажутся вечностью!!! Приехал сегодня утром. Ехал кратчайшим путём на &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Кёльн&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Остенде&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Морской переезд 3 часа без качки. С трудом нашёл комнату в своём отеле; теперь &amp;#039;&amp;#039;сизон&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, и все гостиницы переполнены. Лондон — препротивный город: я не умею здесь ничего находить; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;писсуаров&amp;#039;&amp;#039; нет, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;меняльных лавок нет&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, шляпу по своей голове насилу нашёл!!! Входя в гостиницу, встретился с живущим здесь теперь парижским пианистом &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Дьемером&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и , к своему удивлению, был этому ужасно рад! Все-таки старый знакомый, очень ко мне расположенный. Но вследствие этого мне пришлось почти прямо после приезда уже быть на его &amp;#039;&amp;#039;рисайтеле&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, т. е. дневном концерте. В том же концерте, где я дирижирую, будет участвовать и &amp;#039;&amp;#039;S[ain]t-Saëns&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. После того побывал у устроителя концерта и сговорился насчёт репетиции. Теперь спешу исполнить потребность написать тебе. Про колебания, о которых я писал из Берлина, я уже позабыл. Теперь все мои мечты устремлены в Гранкино, и если только ты не изменишь решения, еду из Кембриджа в Париж для свидания с &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Зилоти&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, в Иттер (это мне не неприятно) и потом около 15[-го] числа мечтаю уже быть в Гранкино. Из Кембриджа, по окончании всех треволнений, по направлению к дому, я уже страдать от тоски не буду.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Радость моя, напиши, пожалуйста, сейчас же ещё хоть несколько слов. Нужно ещё написать Анатолию. Удушаю в объятиях. Дяде Моде скажи, что я о нем думаю с сжиманием сердца, ибо мне все кажется, что он хоть в меньшей мере, но тоже: будет испытывать мои чувства. Впрочем, я забываю, что он, во-1-х, моложе, а во-2-х, едет для своего удовольствия. Всем: Коле, Руде, Сане, Божеству, Володе поцелуи.&lt;br /&gt;

It&amp;#039;s with a sort of delectable pleasure that I write this to you. The idea that this piece of paper will be in your hands, at home, fills me with joy and brings tears to my eyes. Isn&amp;#039;t it curious that I voluntarily subject myself to this torture? Why the hell am I doing all this? Several times yesterday during my journey I made up my mind to give it all up and turn around, but somehow it seemed shameful to return empty handed. Yesterday my tortures reached the point where my &amp;#039;&amp;#039;sleep and appetite&amp;#039;&amp;#039; vanished, which very rarely happens. I&amp;#039;m suffering not only from an anguish which cannot be expressed in words (in my new symphony &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; there is a place which I think expresses it very well), but also from a hatred of strangers, some vague anxiety, and God knows what else. Physically this manifests itself as a pain in the lower abdomen, and a neuralgia and weakness in the legs. Well this is certainly the last time in my life I am doing this. I won&amp;#039;t go anywhere, unless it&amp;#039;s for a huge amount of money and for no more than three days. And to think I&amp;#039;m stuck here for another 2 weeks! That seems like an eternity to me!!! I arrived here this morning, taking the shortest route through &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Cologne]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Ostend]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. The crossing took 3 hours over a calm sea. With difficulty I found my hotel; it&amp;#039;s now the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;season&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and all the hotels are overcrowded. [[London]] is a loathsome city: I can&amp;#039;t find anything here; there are no &amp;#039;&amp;#039;pissoirs&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;no money exchanges&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and I could barely find a hat to fit my head!!! On my arrival at the hotel to my surprise I was terribly glad to be met by the Parisian pianist &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Dièmer]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, who lives here now! He is after all an old acquaintance, and very well disposed towards me. But as a consequence, almost as soon as I had arrived I was obliged to go to his &amp;#039;&amp;#039;recital&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, i.e. a daytime concert &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Saint-Saëns]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is involved in the same concert that I am conducting &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. Afterwards I went to see the organiser to arrange the time for rehearsals. Now I&amp;#039;m hastening to write to you. I&amp;#039;ve already forgotten the vacillations I wrote to you about from [[Berlin]]. Now all my ambitions are directed towards [[Grankino]], and if you don&amp;#039;t change your mind, I&amp;#039;ll go from [[Cambridge]] to [[Paris]] for a meeting with &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Ziloti]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, to [[Itter]] (which I&amp;#039;m looking forward to), and then I&amp;#039;d expect to be at [[Grankino]] around the 15th of the month. Coming home from [[Cambridge]], after all the excitement is over, I shall not be miserable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My joy, please write to me right away, even if it&amp;#039;s just a few words. I still have to write to [[Anatoly]]. Hugging you to death. Tell Uncle [[Modya]] that I&amp;#039;m think of him with a heavy heart, because he knows just how I feel, although to a lesser extent. Anyway I forget that firstly, he&amp;#039;s younger, and secondly, he jaunts around for his own enjoyment. I kiss everyone: [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]], Rudy &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, [[Aleksandr Litke|Sanya]], [[Konstantin Litke|the Divine One]] &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note5&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; and [[Volodya Argutinsky|Volodya]].&lt;br /&gt;
