14 сент[ября] 1887 Милый друг!
Просто невозможно в Москву ездить, — до того деньги там летят. Я до того зарвался, что, несмотря на весьма достаточную сумму, взятую с собой, не имел чем заплатить за неожиданно свалившийся на мою шею обед (а в самом деле, какой противный скряга этот Сафонов) и за гостиницу. Надеюсь, что ты по обоим счётам уже заплатил. Кроме того, прошу тебя послать 30 рублей сер[ебром] в Вятскую губернию, Уржумского уезда, село Новый Торьял. Ради Бога, окажи всяческую помощь, чтобы мне покончить с Новиковой; но, впрочем, пусть Соколов торгуется, лишь бы только не упустить. Твой П. Чайковский |
14 September 1887 Dear friend!
It's simply impossible to go to Moscow, the money has just flown away. Despite having had a more than sufficient amount, I've failed to keep hold of enough for myself, and didn't have anything to pay when I was unexpectedly dragged out to dinner (as a matter of fact Safonov is a horrible skinflint) and for the hotel. I hope that you have already settled both bills. Besides this, I ask you to send 30 silver rubles to Vyatka Province, Urzhumsky district, Novy Toryal. For God's sake render me every assistance in concluding matters with Novikova [1]; but allow Sokolov [2] to haggle anyway, if only so he doesn't miss out. Yours P. Tchaikovsky |
