	June is only just around the corner, and I still don't know anything for sure about your leave! I received your letter today. I'll tell you about the most important facts that have happened. [[Ippolit]], having being ill the whole time, having rather worn out [[Sasha]], [[Lyova]], [[Tanya]] and Derichenko with his phenomenal hypochondria and propensity to touchiness, left yesterday morning. Now the genuine patients include ''[[Anna]]'', who over-ate herself yesterday in the woods and at supper, and ''[[Mitya]]'', who's starting to improve. The rest, thank God, are well. We travelled to the woods for three days in a row, and I went on foot. I was in [[Verbovka]], where I very liked the newly-formed pond. In the big house, the butler Aleksandr is on the rampage. It's reached the point that even Lizaveta and Aleksandra Vasilyevna are complaining about hunger. Today, Vladimir Andreyevich forcibly dragged me to the school for an examination. These, I think, are all the facts. From an economic perspective, I ought to mention that the beetles have devastated the beet fields terribly, but now, thank God, they're starting to disappear.

	In meteorological respects, you cannot help but express total delight. The weather is wonderful. In culinary respects, I'll mention the appearance of strawberries and okroshka, and I'll go so far as to praise the art with which the old cook Yemelyan reproduces this dish. In musical respects, I'll note the following facts: 1) the first act of my opera will soon be ready; 2) Akulina, who does the laundry next to me, sings all day and interferes with my work; 3) the nightingales have almost ceased to sing. In respect of gardening, I'll tell you that the poppies I planted myself have grown very much, and also that the roses have started to bloom.

I strolled round and thought about how good it would be if you could free yourself as soon as possible. Firstly, I want this for you, and secondly, I miss you and want it for myself. There's still no news here yet about [[Sasha]]'s trip. There's talk about Crimea, but this is still in the abyss of the unknown. If they go to Crimea, then perhaps you and I will meet there. Meanwhile, everyone here is drinking the waters: [[Sasha]], [[Tanya]], [[Vera]] and [[Tasya]]. [[Lyova]] has organised excellent bathing, i.e. showering, in the barn in our courtyard. In the morning I take my bath, and before dinner I shower in the barn. As a result of this frequent washing, I've become so clean and smooth!

	Вот уж и июнь на носу, а я все ещё не знаю ничего верного о твоём отпуске! Сегодня получил твоё письмо. Изложу тебе главнейшие случившиеся факты. Ипполит, все время проболев, несколько утомив Сашу, Леву, Таню, Дериченко своей феноменательной мнительностью и отчасти обидчивостью, уехал вчера утром. Теперь в настоящих больных считается ''Анна'', объевшаяся вчера в лесу и за ужином, и ''Митя'', который начинает выходить. Остальные, слава багу, здоровы. В лес ездили три дни сряду, а я ходил пешком. Были в Вербовке, где мне очень нравится вновь образовавшийся пруд. В большом доме свирепствует дворецкий Александр. Дошло до того, что даже Лиз[авета] и Алекс[андра] Вас[ильевны] жалуются на голод. Сегодня Влад[имир] Андр[еевич] насильно таскал меня на экзамен в школу. Вот, кажется, и все факты.

Вот уж и июнь на носу, а я все ещё не знаю ничего верного о твоём отпуске! Сегодня получил твоё письмо. Изложу тебе главнейшие случившиеся факты. Ипполит, все время проболев, несколько утомив Сашу, Леву, Таню, Дериченко своей феноменательной мнительностью и отчасти обидчивостью, уехал вчера утром. Теперь в настоящих больных считается ''Анна'', объевшаяся вчера в лесу и за ужином, и ''Митя'', который начинает выходить. Остальные, слава багу, здоровы.

В хозяйственном отношении следует упомянуть про жучков, которые страшно опустошали свекловичные поля, но теперь, слава Богу, начинают исчезать.

В метеорологическом отношении нельзя не выразить полнейшего удовольствия. Погода стоит чудная. В кулинарном, — упомяну о появлении земляники и окрошки, причём с похвалой отнесусь об искусстве, с которым старый повар Емельян сие яствие воспроизводит. В музыкальном — отмечу следующие факты: 1) первое действие моей оперы скоро будет готово; 2) Акулина, которая стирает рядом со мной, целый день поёт и мешает заниматься; 3) соловьи почти перестали петь. В отношении садоводства скажу тебе, что маки, которые я сам садил, очень выросли, а также что розы начали цвести. Засим я иду гулять, а по возвращении опять напишу тебе.
