18 ноября 1887 Майданово Мне очень жаль, многоуважаемый Егор Львович, что не удалось повидаться с Вами в Москве. Я был слишком утомлён всеми испытанными в последнее время тревогами, чтобы посещать друзей своих. Хотел Вас видеть и несколько раз собирался, — но не нашёл к тому удобной минутки. В Тифлис я не поеду и буду в течение месяца отдыхать в Майданове и часто посещать Москву. Непременно увижусь с Вами и почту за большое удовольствие познакомиться 1) с Вашими новыми сочинениями и 2) с Вашей супругой, которую только мельком удалось видеть. До свиданья! Ваш, П. Чайковский |

I was much too tired from all the recent trials and tribulations to visit my friends. I wanted to see you, and intended to do so several times — but I could not find a convenient moment. I shall not be going to Tiflis and am taking a month to rest at Maydanovo, with frequent visits to Moscow. I shall certainly see you and have the honour and great pleasure of becoming acquainted with 1) your new compositions and 2) with your wife, of whom I have managed to catch only a glimpse. Until we meet! Yours, P. Tchaikovsky |
