{{centre|Глубокоуважаемый Александр Николаевич!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Родной брат мой, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Н. И. Чайковский&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, пишет мне сегодня и просит через посредство Ваше быть перед братом Вашим, Михаилом Николаевичем ходатаем по нижеследующему поводу. Он добивается получить место члена совета министерства государственных имуществ по железно-дорожным делам и надеется, что, если я попрошу Вас, а Вы, при случае, попросите Михаила Николаевича, — то место это достанется ему. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
И вот, исполняя желание брата, убедительно прошу Вас, многоуважаемый Александр Николаевич, оказать, если возможно, Ваше содействие. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Быть может Вам покажется неудобным или странным подобное вмешательство в дела министерства, управляемого Вашим братом, — в таком случае простите, что побеспокоил Вас. Но я однажды уже обращался к Вам с подобной просьбой, и Вы были так добры, что приняли к сердцу моё ходатайство, и дело, о коем я хлопотал, благодаря Вам было улажено. Это обстоятельство и теперь даёт мне смелость надеяться, что Вы не откажете в Вашем содействии или во всяком случае простите мне неуместность моей просьбы.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Примите уверение в глубоком уважении, с коим остаюсь навсегда преданный Вам,&lt;br /&gt;

|Translated text={{right|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Kamenka]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;30 October 1885 }}&lt;br /&gt;
{{centre|Deeply respected [[Aleksandr Nikolayevich]]!}}&lt;br /&gt;
My brother, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[N. I. Tchaikovsky]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, has written to me today and asks me, through your mediation, to intercede for him with your brother, Mikhail Nikolayevich &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, in the following matter. He is striving for a post on the Ministry for State Property&amp;#039;s council for railway affairs, and he hopes that, if I ask you, and you in turn are able to ask Mikhail Nikolayevich when the opportunity presents itself, then he will obtain this post. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so, in fulfilment of my brother&amp;#039;s request, I am emphatically asking you, much esteemed [[Aleksandr Nikolayevich]], to render, if possible, your assistance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps this meddling in the affairs of the Ministry directed by your brother may strike you as awkward or odd — in that case, forgive me for having troubled you. However, I have already on one occasion addressed a similar request to you, and you were so kind as to take my petition to heart, so that, thanks to you, the case in which I was lobbying was resolved favourably &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. It is this circumstance which now gives me the boldness to hope that you will not refuse to offer your assistance, or in any case will forgive me for the inappropriateness of my request.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please accept this assurance of my profound respect, with which I remain forever, your devoted,&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The playwright&amp;#039;s elder brother, Mikhail Nikolayevich Ostrovsky (1817–1901), was Minister for State Property from 1881 to 1893.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;See [[Letter 2147]] to [[Aleksandr Ostrovsky]], 28 October/9 November 1882, in which Tchaikovsky had asked the playwright if he could approach his influential brother in order to help a certain Ivan Kuzmenko, who had been the victim of a legal injustice.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
