Вербовка 3 авг[уста] Милый друг!
Я поручил Николаю Львовичу устраивать квартиру. Если ему нужны будут деньги, то он будет обращаться к тебе, и все, что ты ему выдашь, я тебе возвращу по приезде. Впрочем, это будут все маленькие суммы. Твой, П. Чайковский Пожалуйста, насчёт вальса-скерцо распорядись. |
Verbovka 3 August Dear friend!
I've instructed Nikolay Lvovich to organise an apartment [1]. If he should require money, then he will come to you, and you should give him everything he requests; I'll bring it to you on arrival. However, it should all be small amounts. Yours, P. Tchaikovsky Please, heed my instructions concerning the waltz-scherzo [2]. |
