11 января Саша, голубчик!
Я тебе не отдал 3 рубли, а Аренскому не заплатил за ложу. Ради Бога, получи у Юргенсона мои 3 р[убля] и сколько нужно за ложу. Черт знает, как я стал рассеян. Занавески Алексей уложит и пошлёт по возможности скоро. Твой, П. Чайковский |
11 January Sasha, golubchik!
I didn't give you the 3 rubles, and didn't pay Arensky for the box. For God's sake, take my 3 rubles from Jurgenson and however much the box comes to. The devil knows how I became so absent-minded. Aleksey will pack up the curtains and send them as soon as possible. Yours, P. Tchaikovsky |
