	I'm letting you know that you shouldn't write to [[Naples]] any more, because we are leaving here soon, and your letter won't catch us. I have the following plans: on the 15th, I'm leaving here with [[Modest]] and his retinue for [[Florence]], where [[Modest]] will be staying for some time, and I, after spending three days, shall go almost without stopping to [[Moscow]], where I want to live with [[Tolya]] for a few days, to prepare him for the wedding and send him on his way. We'll be seeing Sanya in [[Moscow]]; perhaps you'll be coming with her? I should be very glad to see you. Soon after the wedding, i.e. the following week, I'm setting off for [[Kamenka]]. [[Natochka]], talk with [[Lyova]] and [[Sasha]] about the following. Since [[Verusha]] and her husband will be living at [[Kamenka]], then it's very possible that they will need my room. I beg them not to be ~~shy~~. After all, I'll always find accommodation at [[Kamenka]] — I can live in the guardroom at the big house, or wherever possible. Write to me in [[Moscow]] regarding this, darling. I have urged [[Modest]] not to live in [[Florence]] for long, but rather to come to [[Kamenka]] in the middle of April and spend a month there. I think this will please everyone.		I'm letting you know that you shouldn't write to [[Naples]] any more, because we are leaving here soon, and your letter won't catch us.

{{centre|Милая Наточка!}}
Сообщаю Вам, что в Неаполь более писать не следует, ибо в скором времени отсюда уезжаем и Ваше письмо не застало бы нас. У меня вот какие проекты: 15 числа отсюда выезжаю с Модестом и свитой во Флоренцию, где Модест останется на несколько времени, а я, проведя три дни, поеду почти не останавливаясь в Москву, где хочу пожить с Толей несколько дней, снарядить его к венцу и отправить в путешествие. С Саней мы увидимся в Москве; может быть, и Вы с ней приедете? Очень бы рад был Вас увидеть. Вскоре после свадьбы, т. е. через недельку, отправляюсь в Каменку. Наточка, поговорите с Левой и Сашей о следующем. Так как Веруша с мужем будут жить в Каменке, то очень может быть, что они нуждаются в моей комнате. Умоляю их не стесняться. Ведь я всегда найду в Каменке помещение, — могу и в караулке большого дома поселиться или где можно. Напишите мне, душка, насчёт этого в Москву. Я очень уговариваю Модеста не жить долго в Флоренции, а лучше в половине апреля приехать в Каменку и с месяц провести там. Думаю, что это всем будет приятно.

Ната! Вы пишите, что все сожалеют о Бирюковых. Я не только сожалею, я ей-Богу готов плакать при мысли, что этих милейших, чудеснейших людей не будет больше в Каменке. Большая это потеря для нас; воображаю, как Софья Осиповна горюет по поводу их отъезда. Наточка, очень им от меня кланяйтесь.

Засим, Наточка, приношу Вам чувствительнейшую благодарность за Ваши милейшие письма, которые я намерен привести в порядок и отдать Сане. Впоследствии эти 4 месяца жизни в Киеве, описанные Вами день за день, будут иметь большой исторический семейный интерес. Но больше не пишите, голубушка, подробных писем, ей-Богу совестно! Скоро увидимся. Крепко поцелуйте от меня Саню и всех. Как я бы желал, чтобы и Левушка приехал в Москву!
{{right|Ваш, П. Чайковский}}
