Спасибо за партии! Мне невозможно было сегодня ещё раз заехать к тебе; приезжал я ради того, чтобы Колонн и Брандуков не обиделись. Опоздал к почтовому поезду. Обни[маю].
П. Чайковский

Я взял в магазине 100 р[ублей]. Кроме того, Зилоти возьмёт у тебя 40 или 50 за венок, подносимый Колонну. С Ginori поступи как хочешь.

Адресуй в Петербург «Россия».

Thank you for the parts![1] It was impossible for me to visit you again today; I came to ensure that Colonne and Brandukov were not offended. I was late for the postal train. I hug you.
P. Tchaikovsky

I took 100 rubles form the store. Besides this, Ziloti will be taking 40 or 50 from you for a wreath, to be presented to Colonne. Do as you please with Ginori [2].

My address in Petersburg is the "Russia" [3].
