| Аня, голубушка! Не сердись на меня. Ей-Богу, мне теперь невозможно писать письма. Боже, до чего я работаю, и до чего я устал! Скоро увидимся. 5-го марта состоится в Петербурге большой концерт из моих сочинений, коим я сам дирижирую. Приеду я 23-го февраля и останусь 2 недели.
| |
| | |
| Ужасно буду рад тебя повидать. Привезу карточки; они у меня, да не стоит посылать. Ничего не пишу; не стоит — скоро увидимся.
| |
| | |
| Я немножко сердит на тебя за то, что ты не приехала на «''Черевички''» и церемонилась принять от меня средства на путешествие.
| |
| | |
| Целую ручки.

| [[Anya]], golubushka! Don't be angry with me. My God, it's currently impossible for me to write letters. God, there's so much work <ref name="note1"/>, and I'm so tired! I'll see you soon. On 5th March a grand concert of my works will be taking place in [[Petersburg]], which I'm conducting myself. I'm coming on 23rd February and staying for 2 weeks.
| |
| | |
| I'll be terribly glad to see you. I'll be bringing cards <ref name="note2"/>; they are mine, but I don't give them out. There's nothing worth writing about — I'll see you soon.
| |
| | |
| I'm a little angry with you for not coming to "''[[Cherevichki]]''" after you made a big show about accepting money from me for the trip <ref name="note3"/>.
| |
| | |
| I kiss your hands.
