1-го марта Милый друг Иван Иванович!
У меня на этой неделе столько хлопот и дела, что не нахожу возможности прослушать г[оспо]жу Мерц до концерта. Но в самый концерт приехать могу, если в 9 часов не слишком поздно. Итак, пусть мне пришлют какой-нибудь билет, и я прослушаю твою protégée с большим удовольствием. До свиданья! Твой Чайковский |
1st March Dear friend Ivan Ivanovich!
This week I have so many concerns and matters to attend to that I should find it impossible to listen to Miss Merz before the concert [1]. But I can come to the concert itself. if 9 o'clock is not too late. Therefore, send me any sort of ticket, and I will listen to your protegee with great pleasure. Until we meet! Yours Tchaikovsky |
