Милый Карлуша! Пришли мне, пожалуйста, 10 рублей; если ты этого не сделаешь, то в следующем № «Совр[еменной] Летописи» я тебя обругаю на чем свет стоит. А впрочем, я тебя очень люблю и уважаю.
П. Чайковский

Dear Karlusha! Please, send me 10 rubles; if you don't do this, then I'll damn you to hell in the next number of "Contemporary Chronicle" [2]. Oh and by the way, I love and respect you very much.
P. Tchaikovsky
