Moskau 9 December 1889 Cher Monsieur!
Je Vous demande pardon de repondre si tard à Votre lettre, mais pour bien des raisons, — je n'ai pu jusqu'à present trouver un moment de loisir et je m'empresse dès que je le puis de satisfaire Votre desir qui me flatte infiniment. Tout à Vous, P. Tschaïkowsky Pardon de V[ou]s répondre en français, mais j'ecris bien mal l'allemand. |
Moscow 9 December 1889 Dear Sir!
I beg your pardon for responding so late to your letter, but this was for good reasons — I could not find a free moment and I am hastening as soon as I can to satisfy your desire, which is infinitely flattering to me. Yours ever, P. Tchaikovsky Forgive me for replying in French, but I write very badly in Germany. |
