| ''Седьмую'' картину получил. Сделано отлично. В ''Brindisi'' необходим ещё куплет. Я попробую сочинить, а ты с своей стороны не придумаешь ли и не пришлёшь ли?
| |
| | |
| Спасибо, Модя! Ты достоин моей величайшей благодарности не только за достоинства либретто, но и за редкую аккуратность. Удивительно, что вчера вечером я окончил 6-ю картину, а сегодня 7-я была уже у меня в руках.
| |
| | |
| Обнимаю!

| I've received the ''seventh'' scene <ref name="note1"/>. It's splendidly done. Another verse is required in the ''Brindisi''. I'll try to compose, but for your part won't you try to devise and send something?
| |
| | |
| Thank you, [[Modya]]! You deserve my outstanding gratitude, not only for the quality of the libretto, but also for its exceptional punctuality. It's astonishing that I finished the 6th scene last night, and yet today the 7th was already in my hands.
| |
| | |
| I hug you!
