	I was very upset by news of your illness, and yet this also gave way to rejoicing on your successful recovery. You write that you weren't invited to mine for Maslenitsa because I ''did not wish it'''; you are wrong, because the wish was there, but the money absolutely wasn't. My affairs were entirely connected with my dashed hopes for the opera, and therefore I couldn't even think about inviting you; remember, oh ungrateful and forgetful young man, that I still have 100 rubles to send you this month! Would you reproach the noblest and most benevolent fellow in the world for betraying you?

Would you reproach the noblest and most benevolent fellow in the world for betraying you?

	The case between [[Nikolay Rubinstein\|Rubinstein]] and Shchebalskaya, which you've probably heard a lot about, was considered today. [[Nikolay Rubinstein\|Rubinstein]] was given a fine of 25 rubles; his lawyer will appeal, and if there's no cassation, then [[Nikolay Rubinstein\|Rubinstein]] will leave the Conservatory, and almost all the professors with him, including me.

	The day after tomorrow my overture to "''[[Romeo]]''" is being performed, the composition of which I owe so much to you.

I spent Maslenitsa in total idleness, and not a little boredom. [[Aleksandra Kartsova\|Sasha ''Kartsova'']] stayed here for a week with her husband, Ilyonka, and their dear little daughter ''Liza''. I visited them every day. [[Aleksandra Kartsova\|Sashenka]] is as good as ever, despite having had 2 children. Pavel Petrovich has aged a lot. I don't know yet where I'll be spending the summer; [[Vladimir Shilovsky\|Shilovsky]] is pressing me to go abroad; I could go and see him for a month, but he has seven Fridays a week; it's very possible that I'll stay here in [[Moscow]]; I'm of an age now where I'm not particularly drawn to anything. There's only one thing I want: peace and quiet. I haven't seen P. V. Davydov for quite a while; I went to the circus with Katerina Vasilyevna and the whole family!
