Многоуважаемый Яков Петрович!
Посылаю Вам при сем два кресла и извиняюсь, что они очень далеки от сцены. Это всё, что я мог достать. Искренно уважающий Вас, П. Чайковский |
Most respected Yakov Petrovich!
Herewith I have two seats for you and apologise that they are very far from the stage [1]. This is all that I could obtain. Your sincerely respectful, P. Tchaikovsky |
