Милый Карлуша!

Пришли мне, пожалуйста, 5 рублей сер[ебром].

Твой друг П. Чайковский

Поцелуй от меня моего крестного сына, который прыгает наверху, и настоящего, который прыгает внизу в кухне.

Dear Karlusha!

Please, send me 5 silver rubles.

Your friend P. Tchaikovsky

Give a kiss to my godson, who plays upstairs, and to the real one, who plays downstairs in the kitchen.
