Голубушка Лида! Прости, ради Бога. И сегодня я у вас не буду. Мне необходимо весь вечер после репетиции проработать над разными исправлениями и пояснениями. Заеду завтра или, вернее, послезавтра.

П. Чайковский

22 December

Golubushka Lida! Forgive me, for God's sake. I can't be with you today either. After rehearsals [1] I need to work all evening on various corrections and clarifications. I'll come over tomorrow or, failing that, the next day.

P. Tchaikovsky
