30 августа Дорогая моя Тётя Лиза!
Пишу Вам эти несколько строк, чтобы сказать Вам, что я принимаю самое глубокое участие в Вашем горе. Вы знаете, что я очень, очень любил нашего Колю; его светлая память никогда не изгладится из моей памяти. Если это может Вас сколько-нибудь утешить, то знайте, что, кроме Коли, у Вас ещё осталось много любящих Вас от всей души. К числу их принадлежу и я; будьте уверены, что я буду счастлив, если мне придётся быть Вам хоть несколько полезным. Обнимаю Вас крепко, целую Ваши ручки и остаюсь любящий Вас, П. Чайковский Целую всех Вас. |
