Из Петербурга получил приглашение &amp;#039;&amp;#039;немедленно&amp;#039;&amp;#039; прибыть на оркестровые репетиции «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Мазепы&amp;#039;&amp;#039;». Отвечал, что не могу, и просил поступать как бы меня не было вовсе в России.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

I&#039;m answering the following 3 questions: 1) As arranged, I went for &#039;&#039; [[Nikolay Tchaikovsky|Nikolay]]&#039;&#039; on the day of my return from [[Petersburg]] at the &#039;&#039;appointed hour, but I didn&#039;t find him&#039;&#039;, and after waiting for about an hour, I returned home. 2) I read &quot;&#039;&#039;Mon frère Ives&#039;&#039;&quot; on the way here. I recognise the author&#039;s great talent, but in general this seems much too dark in tone for me. Even the successful resolution of every misfortune didn&#039;t help. It was sad all the same. But it&#039;s original, new and extremely expressive and vivid. 3) I&#039;ve already told you about &quot;The Benefactor&quot; and the proposal that you write monthly chronicles for &quot;Russian Thought&quot;.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Everything is going very decently, and unlike my previous operas, I&amp;#039;m not experiencing painful disappointment. I saw [[Vera]] yesterday at [[Tolya]]&amp;#039;s. I received an invitation from [[Petersburg]] to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;immediately&amp;#039;&amp;#039; attend the orchestral rehearsals of &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Mazepa]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. I replied that I could not, and asked them to act as if I were not in Russia at all. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Модичка! На 3 вопроса отвечаю следующее: 1) &amp;#039;&amp;#039;к Николаю&amp;#039;&amp;#039; согласно обещанию, я ездил в день возвращения из а Петербурга в &amp;#039;&amp;#039;назначенный час, но не нашёл&amp;#039;&amp;#039; его и, прождавши около часа, возвратился домой. 2) «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mon frère Ives&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» я прочёл на пути сюда. Признаю в авторе большой талант, но в общем вещь эта показалась мне слишком мрачною по колориту. Даже благополучное разрешение всех невзгод не помогло. Всё-таки грустно. Но оригинально, ново и в высшей степени живо и рельефно. 3) О «Благодетеле» и предложении «Русской мысли», чтобы ты писал ежемесячные хроники, я уже сообщал.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Сегодня будет вторая оркестровая репетиция. Идёт всё весьма недурно, и я не испытываю, как при прежних операх, мучительного разочарования. Вчера видел Веру у Толи. Из Петербурга получил приглашение &amp;#039;&amp;#039;немедленно&amp;#039;&amp;#039; прибыть на оркестровые репетиции «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Мазепы&amp;#039;&amp;#039;». Отвечал, что не могу, и просил поступать как бы меня не было вовсе в России.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Целую крепко. «Мазепа» не пойдёт ранее конца будущей недели.&lt;br /&gt;
