28 окт[ября] [18]92 г[ода] Милый Алексей Иванович!
Пришли мне мою работу всю, как есть, в бюваре, в котором она находится. Пришли посылкой на имя О. И. Юргенсона. Кажется, придётся прожить здесь более месяца, и я надеюсь, что можно будет хоть иногда поработать. Номером очень доволен. Всем кланяюсь. Твой, П. Ч. |
28 October 1892 Dear Aleksey Ivanovich!
Send me all my work, such as it is, in the folder in which it is to be found [1]. Send it as a parcel addressed to O. I. Jurgenson. It seems I'll have to stay here for more than a month [2], and I hope that it might be possible to work at least occasionally. The rooms are very pleasant [3]. I bow to everyone. Yours, P. T. |
