25 янв[аря]/13 янв[аря] [18]92 Алексей Иванович!
Я приеду гораздо раньше, чем думал, вероятно, около 23 или 24 янв[аря]. Поэтому, как получишь письмо, ступай сейчас же в Москву и получи у П. И. Юргенсона мои три тетради с черновыми набросками. До свиданья! Твой П. Чайковский |
25 January/13 January 1892 I'll be arriving far earlier than I thought, around 23 or 24 January [1]. Therefore, immediately you receive this letter, go at once to Moscow and collect my three notebooks with the rough drafts from P. I. Jurgenson [2]. Until we meet! Yours P. Tchaikovsky |
