	No, I haven't forgotten you in the least — on the contrary, with the impending graduation I think about you very much. May God grant that everything goes well. Until Lent I won't be going to the theatre office for single tickets; let me gather up a few more, otherwise I'm afraid it will be a disappointment. As soon as I receive the money, I'll send the money I owe at once, 227 silver rubles. I'll be expecting you at Shrovetide; don't let [[Modya]] come this time, otherwise it will be very ruinous — I'm afraid I won't have enough money. I'll make it up to him next year, provided I'm alive. Anyway, let's see. I'll certainly see him in the summer, and as for you, God knows! If you go to [[Sasha]]'s then we're unlikely to be living together, because I won't be going to see her until [[~~Leva~~]] moves to his own estate.

	I'm writing this letter to you at night after a Musical Society concert. My fantasia "[[Fatum]]" was performed for the first time. This seems to be the best thing I've written so far — at least, that's what others say (a significant success). Have you read [[Laroche]]'s article about my opera? If you could know all the circumstances that led up to the article, and the reasons for its appearance, then you {{...}} <ref name="note1"/>. I'm setting to work on "[[Undina]]" with great enthusiasm. Already the greater part of the 1st act is ready. Unfortunately (don't tell this to [[Papasha]]), my health has been decidedly upset recently; my nerves are frayed to the extreme, so that now and again I'm weakened to the point of complete exhaustion. Last week I even decided to go somewhere before September for a holiday — but changed my mind. This would have been very awkward for [[Nikolay Rubinstein\|Rubinstein]], who would have been put in a very difficult position regarding classes. I accidentally learned at Obolensky's soirée that Alyosha was passing through here; the next morning I went to see him and made the acquaintance of his wife — very nice.
