Я уезжаю послезавтра, в среду, утром. Завтра мне будут нужны деньги, которые ты мне обещал. Если будет заседание, то привези их, пожалуйста, с собой; если заседания не будет, то я зайду за ними в 3 часа.
Твой, П. Чайковский

I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, on Wednesday morning. I'll be needing the money you promised me tomorrow. If the meeting takes place [1] then please bring it with you ; if not then I'll call in for it at 3 o'clock.
Yours, P. Tchaikovsky
