	I received your letter more than a week ago in [[Petersburg]] and I have not responded until now, since amongst the mad commotion of [[Petersburg]], I was absolutely in no state to have a heartfelt conversation with you. Your letter not only did not ''tire and bore'' me, as you quite unfoundedly assume, but, on the contrary, it was of the utmost pleasure and interest to me. I have long wished to learn how you were and what you were doing, and you very opportunely satisfied my need for information about you. How I understand your initial suffering, and in particular the homesickness!!! This is one of the most burning and painful feelings — but this was all inevitable. Having the sensitive soul of an artist, of course you could not immediately feel at home in the midst of a new environment, new people, and new responsibilities. Moreover (speaking between us) the Germans are so ~~unsympathetic~~, and [[Berlin]] is by nature so colourless and unattractive. But you will gradually become accustomed to all this, and will be completely at peace when you come to the firm realisation that you did not go to [[Berlin]] in vain. On my part, I am utterly convinced of the latter — especially since you are pleased with your teacher and have trust in him — this is the main thing!

Письмо Ваше я получил более недели тому назад в Петербурге и не отвечал до сих пор потому, что среди сумасшедшей петербургской суеты решительно не в состоянии был по душе побеседовать с вами. Письмо Ваше не только ''не утомило и не надоело'' мне, как Вы совершенно неосновательно предполагаете, а, напротив, чрезвычайно обрадовало и заинтересовало меня. Я давно уже желал узнать, как Вы поживаете и что поделываете, и Вы очень кстати удовлетворили мою потребность иметь о Вас сведения. Как я понимаю Ваши страдания в первое время, и особенно тоску по родине!!! Это одно из самых жгучих и мучительных чувств, — но все это было неизбежно. Имея чуткую душу художника, — Вы, конечно, не могли сразу почувствовать себя как дома среди новой обстановки, новых людей, новых обязанностей. Притом (между нами сказать) немцы так мало симпатичны, берлинская природа так бесцветна и непривлекательна. Но ко всему этому Вы привыкнете понемногу и вполне успокоетесь, когда получите твёрдое убеждение, что поехали в Берлин не напрасно. В этом последнем я с своей стороны совершенно убеждён, тем более что Вы довольны своим учителем и доверяете ему, — а ведь это главное!

Мне очень любопытно знать, что Вы пишете под руководством Тирша, и я попрошу Вас, если возможно, прислать мне на просмотр кое-что (если хотите и все) из Ваших писаний.

Вообще, убедительно прошу Вас видеть во мне искренно расположенного к Вам друга. Как Ваш талант, так и Ваша личность мне весьма симпатичны.

Потрудитесь передать от меня поклон Клиндворту, милейшее письмо которого я получил и собираюсь ещё раз написать ему, когда досуга для беседы будет побольше.

До свиданья! Будьте здоровы и, пожалуйста, не падайте духом.
{{right|Ваш, П. Чайковский}}
