	I arrived at [[Kamenka]] yesterday morning and found almost everyone well. I was both pleased and sad. The absence of [[Alyosha]], and even Yefstafiya, makes it less enjoyable for me here. I met two hussars who had come to stay here: one, Zigler, who's very handsome, is in love with [[Vera]] and even proposed to her just yesterday. [[Vera Rimskaya-Korsakova\|Verusha]] hasn't turned him down, but unfortunately his fortune is very modest, although still far greater than ''Trubetskoy''{{'}}s. The latter recently wrote [[Sasha]] a lovely letter; his father also wrote to [[~~Leva~~]], and both of these letters make a very pleasant impression, but unfortunately they do not advance the matter at all, because it turns out that the Trubetskoys are utterly ruined people. The other hussar, Samberg, a Swede who speaks Russian poorly and is rather unattractive, is in love with Varya, who would willingly be with him, but Nikolay Vasilyevich is not at all sympathetic to this marriage. It looks to me as though [[Sasha]] has put on weight. The Christmas tree was magnificent, and my presents were a great success. It's remarkable that I came to [[Kamenka]] with 10 rubles in my pocket. How quickly the whole thousand vanished into thin air!		I arrived at [[Kamenka]] yesterday morning and found almost everyone well. I was both pleased and sad.

Приехал вчера в Каменку утром и застал всех почти здоровыми. Мне было и приятно и грустно. Отсутствие Алёши и даже Ефстафия потят мне удовольствие пребывания здесь. Я застал приехавших сюда гостить двух гусар: один Циглер, очень симпатичный, влюблён в Веру и даже именно вчера сделал ей предложение. Веруша очень не прочь идти за него, но, к сожалению, у него состояние очень небольшое, хотя всё-таки гораздо больше, чем у ''Трубецкого''. Последний недавно написал Саше прелестное письмо; отец его тоже писал Леве, и оба эти письма производят весьма приятное впечатление, но, к сожалению, ничуть не подвигают дела, ибо оказывается, что Трубецкие — совсем разорённые люди. Другой гусар, швед Самберг, плохо говорящий по-русски и малосимпатичный, влюблён в Варю, которая охотно пошла бы за него, но Ник[олай] Вас[ильевич], относится к этому браку очень не сочувственно. Саша, на мой взгляд, поправилась. Ёлка была великолепная, и мои подарки очень удались. Замечательно, что я приехал в Каменку с 10 р[ублей] в кармане. Как скоро испарилась вся тысяча!

Погода чудная, — но снегу нет. Гулял я с величайшим наслаждением, и вообще все бы хорошо, если б не мысль об моем бедном Алёше. Я получил от него сегодня письмо, полное раздирающей грусти. Напомни про него ''Рубинштейну'', который хотел просить Шувалова об нем.

Целую крепко. С нетерпением жду от тебя известий.
