	I have to sit for three whole days over [[Jurgenson]]'s lithography, in order to undertake complex, brutally difficult proofreading, which is required with the greatest of urgency. Consequently I ask you to permit me to defer our meeting and read through of "''The Gypsies''" until next ''Monday'' at 3 or 4 o'clock. I implore you not to grumble about my involuntary procrastination. Write me a word or two in reply.

{{centre|Многоуважаемый Василий Алексеевич!}}
Я должен в течение трёх дней безвыходно сидеть в литографии Юргенсона, чтобы сделать сложную, убийственно трудную корректуру, требующую величайшей спешности. Вследствие того прошу Вас позволить мне перенести наше свидание и чтение «''Цыган''» до будущего ''понедельника'' в 3 или 4 часа. Убедительно прошу Вас не сетовать на меня за невольное промедление. Напишите словечко ответа.

Искренно преданный,
{{right|П. Чайковский}}
