Мой концерт не состоится. Несмотря на все гигантские мои усилия и на твёрдую уверенность, — я потерпел неудачу относительно добытия нужных мне сумм.

Я в глубоком отчаянии.

Ничего более я не в состоянии писать Вам сегодня. Простите за многие беспокойства, которые я причинил Вам своим неудавшимся планом.

''Merci'' за письмо

Искренно преданный Вам,
{{right|П. Чайковский}}

{{centre|Dear [[Serezha]]!}}
My concert isn't going to take place <ref name="note1"/>. In spite of all my gigantic efforts and my strong certainty that it would work out, I have been unsuccessful as regards raising the necessary sums of money.

I am in profound despair.

I am unable to write anything more to you today. Forgive me for the great trouble which I caused you with my unsuccessful plan.

''Merci'' for the letter <ref name="note2"/>.

Sincerely devoted,
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}
