| Мне ужасно совестно, но я тебя должен просить прислать мне целых пятьдесят рублей. Цена моих пиэс 100 р[ублей]. Я взял у тебя 35 и теперь 50 — итого 85. За тобой останется 15.
П. Чайковский |
I'm awfully embarrassed, but I have to ask you to send me a round fifty rubles. The price of my pieces [1] is 100 rubles. I've already taken 35 from you, and 50 now — making 85. This leaves you with 15.
P. Tchaikovsky |
