Так как я приеду поздно в субботу и не поспею отдать ''гимн'' раньше воскресенья, то, дабы время не пропадало и ты успел ещё завтра распорядиться о печатании, посылаю тебе его по почте. Я мучился часов 6 над ''виршами''; рифмы ничего, — но отдельно, без музыки они будут именно виршами.<br />

До свиданья.<br />

Since I'll be arriving late on Saturday and I won't manage to bring you the ''hymn'' <ref name="note1"/> before Sunday, then so that time doesn't run out before you are able to arrange the printing tomorrow, I'm sending it to you by post. I tormented myself for 6 hours over this ''doggerel''; nothing rhymes, but by itself, without any music, it would indeed be doggerel. <br />
{{right|Yours P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />
Until we meet.<br />
