Коля в своём необыкновенно милом письме ко мне жалуется, что ты с ним неоткровенен. Ему грустно, «''что ты охотнее делишься своими мечтами и впечатлениями с M[ademois]elle Диной или Назаром, чем с ним''». Тон, которым это пишется, такой тёплый, милый, что я был очень тронут. Я предупредил его в своём ответе, что насплетничаю тебе. Изволь объясняться и оправдываться.


Не сокрушайся, что не поехал в Байрейт. Мой америк[анский] друг ''William von Sachs'' пишет мне оттуда, что ни одного места на «Парсифаля» найти нет никакой возможности.
