27 сентября [18]93

Дорогой Илья Ильич!

Потрудись как-нибудь зайти к Федецкому и заказать ему 2 больший, т. е. самых больших (а не будуарных) моих портрета. Попроси его, когда будут готовы, послать в Москву Юргенсону и ему же послать счёт. Обнимаю тебя!

П. Чайковский

P.S. Надеюсь, что до тебя дошло моё письмо из Москвы.

27 September 1893

Kindly call on Fedetsky sometime and ask him for 2 large size i.e. the biggest (but not boudoir), copies of my portrait [1]. Ask him when they are ready to send them to Jurgenson in Moscow and to invoice him. I embrace you!

P. Tchaikovsky

P.S. I hope that my letter from Moscow has reached you [2].
