	Congratulations! I wanted to telegraph in the morning, but didn't have the money. At last, today is the first completely fine day, and we must give [[Paris]] its dues. It's remarkably good and lively today. This didn't stop us from sighing about 1 May last year in [[Kamenka]] — remember? Yesterday (on Saturday), I found [[Tanya]] flushed. She summoned me for a moment or two, and immediately fell asleep, and after talking with [[Lizaveta Mikhaylovna]], I went home. This is a mild milk fever. Yesterday evening I was at the "''Gymnase''". "''Le père de Martial''" is the most commonplace French thing, which not only didn't interest me, but infuriated me the whole time. Only in 2 or 3 places did the excellent performance of your ''Marais'' revive me somewhat. During the 2nd act I had the most terrible attack of theatrical diarrhoea. The production in general didn't bring me the slightest pleasure. Even ''Landrol'' was no consolation to me, and ''Pasca'' was just the same; both of them have contrivance after contrivance, with pretensions to profundity and drama. Today, immediately after tea, I went for a stroll, and despite the wonderful weather, I was drowsy and out of sorts. I looked around part of the ''Salon''; it's impossible to do it all at once. I was very pleased with most of it. I found [[Tanya]] in an excellent state; her fever has passed, she isn't flushed at all, and very cheerful and talkative. I sat there a very long time today. She has become unusually affectionate towards me lately, and displays such grief at the thought of my leaving (perhaps it isn't so much grief, as the fear of being left without male protection), that I'm beginning to be afraid to even talk about going. However, I want to leave at the end of the week all the same. I drank tea with them. [[Tanya]]'s attitude towards the child is simply a mystery to me; as a more subtle psychologist you would understand this better. [[Lizaveta Mikhaylovna]] says that at first she was even expressing some bitterness. Now she talks about him freely, but it's clear that she doesn't give ''one hair'' for him. After [[Tanya]], I went to the ''Bois de Boulogne'', took a long walk there, and, in the absence of a cab driver, even walked into town. I'm terribly tired. I had a quick dinner and am writing to you. I'll be going to bed early. On Wednesday, [[Lizaveta Mikhaylovna]] and I are going to see my future adopted child. Just imagine, we have to spend the night somewhere on the way. You cannot go there in a day.		Congratulations! I wanted to telegraph in the morning, but didn't have the money.

	Поздравляю! Хотел телеграфировать утром, да денег жалко. Сегодня наконец первый вполне хороший день и нужно отдать справедливость Парижу. Он сегодня удивительно хорош и оживлён.

Вечером вчера я был в «''Gymnase''». «''Le père de Martial''» самая заурядная коренная французятина, которая не только не заняла меня, но все время злила. Только в 2, 3-х местах превосходная игра твоего ''Marais'' несколько оживила меня. Во время 2-го действия у меня сделался страшный припадок театрального поноса. Вообще спектакль этот не принёс мне ни малейшего удовольствия.
