I must pay her the 2500, and have committed to paying a pension of 100 rubles per month. The pension is very insecure, i.e. its security depends on my life, and my life is a question. I might die soon, and then she would lose her pension. Wouldn&amp;#039;t she find it more advantageous to receive a capital payment of 10 thousand from me, which will pay off my debt and replace her pension? Say that I&amp;#039;m prepared to give her 10 thousand (say that you obtained it for me from [[Lev]], from the Davydovs, or from whomever), but only on the condition that she grants me a formal &amp;#039;&amp;#039;divorce&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. [[Nadezhda Filaretovna]] is offering me this 10 thousand so that I can either demand a divorce, or pay her a pension many years in advance. In no event will I agree to the latter, because she will take the money and still pester me. So, let her grant the divorce, and when she signs up to it, she&amp;#039;ll have the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;10 thousand&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Thus, she will buy her freedom and security for her daily bread, whereas my pension is not secure, for I am mortal. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Oh, how good it would be if I could obtain a divorce. If this requires my presence in [[Moscow]], then I can come from [[Kamenka]] in the summer. If you find it necessary to go to [[Moscow]] for this business, then take my 100 rubles from the theatre. But how indelicate I am! Forgive me, golubchik. I&amp;#039;m coming to you with my libellous deeds when you have no time for me. I know your answer to this; I know that you love me, and all the same a loving person has no desire to become involved with squabbles with [[Antonina Ivanovna]]. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

They eat with a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;knife&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, but are wealthily dressed. I don&amp;#039;t understand it. How cold it is here after [[Florence]]! Altogether wintry. But the mountains are extraordinarily beautiful in the snow. The weather is grey; somehow uncanny and heavy on my heart after [[Florence]]&amp;#039;s dazzling splendour. But then how quiet it is here; how wonderfully fine our rooms are, how delicious the dinner, how sweet is Marie! By the way, she calls you Monsieur Anatole, talks about you incessantly, and bows to you. A wonderful girl! [[Modya]], although he&amp;#039;s hiding it from me, is apparently yearning for [[Florence]], where he rolled around like cheese in butter.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Напиши А[нтонине] И(вановне] следующее письмо. Я должен ей заплатить 2500 и обязался платить 100 р[ублей] в месяц пенсии. Пенсия эта очень непрочна, т. е. прочность её зависит от моей жизни, а жизнь моя есть вопрос. Я могу умереть скоро, и тог да она лишится пенсии. Не найдёт ли она более вы годным получить от меня капитал в 10 тысяч, который погасит мой долг и заменит ей пенсию. Скажи, что я готов ей дать 10 тысяч (скажи, что ты их достал мне от Левы, от Давыдовых или от кого бы то ни было), но только с тем, чтобы она дала мне формальный &amp;#039;&amp;#039;развод&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Н[адежда] Ф[иларетовна] предлагает мне эти 10 тысяч, чтоб я потребовал или развода, или уплатил ей пенсию за много лет вперёд. На последнее я ни в каком случае не согласен, ибо она получит деньги и всё-таки будет приставать ко мне. Итак, пусть даст развод, и при подписании его она получит 10 &amp;#039;&amp;#039;тысяч&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Таким образом, она купит себе свободу и обеспеченный кусок хлеба, тог да как пенсия моя не есть обеспечение, ибо я смертен.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Держи все это в абсолютной тайне&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и отвечай мне скорее хоть коротко: как твоё мнение? Ах, как было бы хорошо, если б я мог добиться развода. Если для этого необходимо моё присутствие в Москве, то ведь я могу при ехать из Каменки летом. Если ты найдёшь нужным съездить в Москву для этого дела, то возьми мои 100 р[ублей] из театра. А впрочем, как я неделикатен! Извини, голубчик. Лезу к тебе с своими пасквильными делишками, когда тебе не до меня. Знаю твой ответ на это; знаю, что ты меня любишь, — и всё-таки влюблённому человеку нет никакой охоты путаться в дрязги с А[нтониной] И[ваиовной].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Как твои дела? Давно не имею от тебя известий. Скучаю без них. Как здесь каждый шаг мне напоминает тебя!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
В &amp;#039;&amp;#039;table d&amp;#039;hôte&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, к сожалению, мы не одни. Приходилось сегодня за обедом и за ужином занимать разговором каких-то двух очень загадочных дам, которые понимают русский язык, но на вопрос мой, русские ли они, отвечают &amp;#039;&amp;#039;нет&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и при этом как-то переглядываются и ломаются. Едят &amp;#039;&amp;#039;ножом&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, но одеты богато. Не понимаю что такое. Как здесь холодно после Флоренции! Совсем зима. Но зато горы необычайно красивы в снегу. Погода серенькая; как-то жутко и грустно на душе после ослепительного блеска Флоренции. Но зато как здесь тихо; как чудно хороши наши комнаты, какой вкусный обед, какая милая Marie! Кстати, она называет тебя M[onsieu]r Anatole, беспрестанно говорит о тебе и велела тебе кланяться. Чудная девушка! Модя. хотя и скрывает от меня, но, видимо, тоскует по Флоренции. где он катался как сыр в масле.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Прощай, мой голубчик. Целую тебя в губки, шейку и носик.&lt;br /&gt;

Если ты найдёшь возможным получить мои деньги из театра и назначить их А[нтонине] И[вановне], то пошли их Юргенсону.&lt;br /&gt;
