	Please be so kind as to answer me as to whether the full score and parts of the [[Symphony No. 2\|2nd symphony]] will be printed at the stipulated time? I am very surprised that you have still not sent me any proofs. Do I really have reason to regret that I trusted you and gave you the score earlier than I ought to have done? After all, your fulfilling your promise has nothing to do with the general misunderstanding regarding my signing of the contract.

This, however, is dictated by your interests far more than mine. I am very sorry that [[Jurgenson]], to whom I have given power of attorney to manage all my musical affairs, has not yet managed to visit [[Petersburg]] and to speak to in person to clarify the misunderstandings that have arisen. I hope that this will happen soon.

Потрудись, пожалуйста, ответить мне будет в условленное время или не будет напечатана партитура и голоса 2-й симфонии? Меня очень удивляет, что ты до сих пор не выслал мне корректур? Неужели мне придётся раскаяться в том, что я доверился тебе и выдал партитуру ранее, чем следовало. Ведь исполнение данного тобою обещания не имеет ничего общего с нашим недоразумением по поводу не подписания мною контракта.

Надеюсь, что мои опасения неосновательны и что к началу сезона концертов РМО, которое включило её в свою программу, и партитура, и голоса будут готовы. Этого, впрочем, требуют твои интересы гораздо более моих. Очень жалею, что Юргенсон, которому я дал доверенность на ведение всех моих музыкальных дел, не успел ещё побывать в Петербурге и посредством устных переговоров с тобой разъяснить возникшее недоразумение. Надеюсь, что это вскоре состоится.

Искренно преданный,
