That&amp;#039;s the whole digest of the Kamenkan chronicle. I go to Trostyanka every day, and always alone. Today, for [[Mitya]]&amp;#039;s birthday, everyone is going to [[Verbovka]]. [[Tolichka]]!

Я страдаю в последние дни крапивной лихорадкой, т. е. у меня постоянно чешется тело и выскакивают белые пупырчики. Это, говорят, простуда. Но крапивка нисколько не мешает мне быть совершенно бодрым и здоровым. Работаю я в последние дни как угорелый. У меня на шее корректура оперы, — самое отвратительное занятие в мире. Но чтобы предаться ему вполне, я должен сначала кончить итальянскую фантазию, и вот я засел и так стараюсь, что иной раз чувствую себя очень утомленным.

Try harder, [[Tolichka]], to see to it so that, at least during the day, no one prevents you from studying. On the other hand, I can&amp;#039;t help but be glad that you have so many people close to you there, and it&amp;#039;s particularly good that Sasha Gudim is there.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

In recent days I&amp;#039;ve been suffering from nettle fever, i.e. my body is constantly itching and white bumps are popping up. They say it&amp;#039;s a cold. But the nettles aren&amp;#039;t in the least preventing me from being thoroughly cheerful and healthy. I&amp;#039;ve been working like mad recently. I have the proofs of the opera round my neck — the most horrid task in the world. But in order to concentrate fully on it, I must first finish the [[Italian Fantasia]], and so I&amp;#039;m sitting and trying so hard that sometimes I feel very weary. Fortunately the fantasia is almost ready, which you should kindly inform [[Jurgenson]] about. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

It was abominable, but Vladimir Andreyevich enthusiastically supported him, and demanded that everyone be delighted and astounded. 2) There was an evening at the Biryukovs&amp;#039; with supper, which didn&amp;#039;t go without Aleksandra Ivanovna&amp;#039;s reproaches that feeding the landowners was wasteful, while I, as usual, reproached the supposedly poor quality of the food. 3) Today Zhenya &amp;#039;&amp;#039;in all seriousness&amp;#039;&amp;#039; asked me who is the older: brother [[Nikolay]] or her mother [[Zina]]? 4) My little caterpiller wove a coccoon and lay down inside it. 5) I&amp;#039;ve received the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;boots&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, but not the trousers yet. That&amp;#039;s the whole digest of the Kamenkan chronicle. I go to Trostyanka every day, and always alone. Today, for [[Mitya]]&amp;#039;s birthday, everyone is going to [[Verbovka]]. [[Tolichka]]! Due to the complete lack of material and abundance of material, will you let me write to you no more than once a week? I kiss and hug you tenderly. My regards to [[Nikolay Rubinstein|Rubinstein]].&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Я вижу из полученного вчера твоего письма, что ты сразу начал жить в Москве на прежний лад, т. е. видишь слишком много людей и поддерживаешь слишком много отношений. По-старайся. Толичка, устроить так, чтобы, по крайней мере, днём тебе никто не мешал заниматься. С другой стороны, я не могуне радоваться, что у тебя там есть много близких людей, и вособенности хорошо, что Саша Гудим там.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
У нас все благополучно, и все, слава Богу, здоровы. Я страдаю в последние дни крапивной лихорадкой, т. е. у меня постоянно чешется тело и выскакивают белые пупырчики. Это, говорят, простуда. Но крапивка нисколько не мешает мне быть совершенно бодрым и здоровым. Работаю я в последние дни как угорелый. У меня на шее корректура оперы, — самое отвратительное занятие в мире. Но чтобы предаться ему вполне, я должен сначала кончить итальянскую фантазию, и вот я засел и так стараюсь, что иной раз чувствую себя очень утомленным. К счастью, фантазия почти готова, о чём и потрудись прислучае сообщить Юргенсону.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Из выдающихся фактов произошло следующее: 1) Приезжал сюда маг и акробат, дававший на площади в местечке всвоем собственном балагане представление, на коем и я присутствовал. Это было отвратительно, но. Влад[имир] Анд[реевич] ему сильно протежировал и требовал, чтобы все восхнщались и изумлялись. 2) Был вечер у Бирюковых с ужином, причём не обошлось без попреканий Алекс[андра] Ивановича, что разорительно кормить помещиков, а я, по обычаю, попрекал якобы дурным качеством угощения. 3) Женя сегодня &amp;#039;&amp;#039;совершенно серьёзно&amp;#039;&amp;#039; спросила меня, кто старше: брат Николай или её мать Зина. 4) Мой червячок свил кокону и залег вней. 5) &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Сапоги&amp;#039;&amp;#039; я получил, а платье ещё нет. Вот и вся несложная каменская хроника. Каждый день хожу в Тростянку, и всегда один. Сегодня, по случаю рождения Мити, все едут в Вербовку. Толичка! за совершенным неимением материала и обилием занятий, позволь писать тебе не более одного раза в неделю? Нежно целую и обнимаю. Кланяйся Рубинштейну.&lt;br /&gt;
