Модя!
Вспомни, что наш отъезд совсем недалёк. Проси отпуск с 15-го декабря; 16-го будь здесь, а 20-го тронемся. Деньги будут. Едем во всяком случае. Немедленно ответь мне, подал ли ты прошение об отпуске? Целую Папу, Лили, тебя и Толю. Твой П. Чайковский |
Remember that our departure is quite close. You should request leave from the 15th December; be here on the 16th, and on the 20th we venture forth. There will be money here. We shall leave whatever happens. Reply at once to let me know if you've petitioned for leave [1]. I kiss Papa, Lili, you and Tolya. Yours P. Tchaikovsky |
