Необходимость уехать из Москвы 31-го мая помешала мне поблагодарить Вас за Ваши труды и лестное внимание к моей кантате. Меня это тревожит, и я спешу написать эти строки, чтобы просить Вас быть уверенным в моей искренней благодарности. Я слушал кантату снизу; наверх не пошёл, ибо убоялся сделаться предметом общего любопытства. Если Вам случится говорить с великим князем (который, говорят, хотел меня видеть), то потрудитесь и ему передать, что я весьма сожалею, что лишился чести быть ему представленным, — этой чести я никак не ожидал.

Желаю Вам всякого успеха и благополучия. Передайте от меня моё глубокое почтение Вашей супруге и верьте в глубокое уважение.
{{right|Вашего, П. Чайковского}}

The necessity for me to leave [[Moscow]] on 31st May prevented me from thanking you for your efforts and flattering attention to my cantata <ref name="note1"/>. This has discomfited me, and I am hastening to write these lines, in order to ask you to be assured of my sincere gratitude. I listened to the cantata from below, without going up, for fear of becoming an object of general curiosity. If you happen to speak with the Grand Duke <ref name="note2"/> (who, it is said, wished to see me), then kindly convey to him my great sorrow at having been deprived of the honour of being introduced to him — this is an honour I had never expected.

I wish you every success and good fortune. Give my best regards to your wife, and be assured of my deepest respect.
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}
