Согласно нашему уговору посылаю Вам партитуру моих «Танцев»; если можно исполнить их в каком-нибудь концерте под Вашим управлением, то буду Вам крайне обязан. Если же нельзя, то потрудитесь их при случае возвратить; да, кстати, пришлите, если это возможно, словечко поощрения. От Вас мне в высшей степени приятно было бы получить таковое.

Примите уверение в искреннем уважении, преданного Вам
