|Original text={{centre|Милые Мамаша и Папаша!}}
Вот уже третий день что мы у Модеста Алексеевича. Уже давно мы не писали к вам мои прекрасные оттого, что все ожидали Папашу, который ещё не приехал, но скоро приедет. Июнь не за горами как вы говорите и если приедете то верно уже совсем останетесь.

Я ещё когда был в приготовительном классе то написал вам письмо, но забыл привезти. Итак я попрошу М[onsieur] Berar, чтоб он бы отослал письмо.

Завтра мы вместе с Модестом Алексеевич поедем в театр.

Спешу приготовлять уроки которые мне задали и потому милые, чудные мои небесные Ангелы целую и прощаюсь с вами. Ваш сын,
{{right|П. Чайковский}}
Поцелуйте за меня всех моих милых сестёр и Тётю Лизу.

|Translated text={{centre|Dear [[Mamasha]] and [[Papasha]]!}}
This is now the third day that we have been staying at Modest Alekseyevich's <ref name="note2"/>. We haven't written to you for a long time, my wonderful ones, because all this time we have been expecting [[Papasha]], who still hasn't come but who will soon come. June is not far off, as you say, and if you come, then you will probably remain here for good.

When I was still in the preparatory class I wrote you a letter, but I forgot to bring it with me. So I shall ask M. Bérard <ref name="note3"/> to post the letter for me.

Tomorrow we are going to the theatre together with Modest Alekseyevich.

I am hurrying to prepare the lessons I have been set, and so, my dear, wonderful, heavenly Angels, I kiss you and bid you farewell. Your son,
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}
Kiss for me all my dear sisters and [[Aunt Liza]].

<ref name="note2">Modest Alekseyevich Vakar was a friend of [[Ilya Tchaikovsky]]'s who had agreed to act as the guardian of young Pyotr after his enrolment in the Imperial School of Jurisprudence in [[Saint Petersburg]] in September 1850. Although the latter was a boarding-school, Pyotr was allowed to stay at the Vakars' house on Sundays and on other holidays. Pyotr's brother [[Nikolay]], two years his senior, was also in [[Saint Petersburg]] as a boarder at the Mining College and was also allowed to stay with the Vakars on holidays.</ref>
<ref name="note3">Joseph Bérard (known in Russia as Iosif Iosifovich Berar; 1800-1883) taught literature and French at the School of Jurisprudence, including in the preparatory class which Pyotr was attending at the time. He was the latter's favourite teacher. See {{bib|2009/16|Пётр Чайковский. Биография ; том. 1}} (2009), p. 46.</ref>
