Пишу Вам несколько строк по поручению Н. Рубинштейна. Он желает наверно знать, когда Вы будете. Назначьте одно из следующих чисел: 2-е, 9-ое, 16-ое, 22-ое, т. е. по пятницам. Играть в Вашем концерте он никак не может, так как ''Лауб'' обиделся бы ужасно. Хоры готовы. Ответ ему нужен как можно скорее.

Прощайте, голубчик; увертюра моя переписывается.

I am writing you a few lines at the request of [[N. Rubinstein]]. He wants to know for sure when you will be here. Please could you fix one of the following dates: 2nd, 9th, 16th, 22nd, i.e. these are all Fridays. There is just no way that he can play in your concert, because {{und|[[Laub]]}} would feel terribly offended. The choruses are ready. He needs a reply as soon as possible <ref name="note1"/>.

Goodbye, golubchik. My overture <ref name="note2"/> is in the process of being copied.
