	I'm very concerned about the matter of the Musical Society sending you 200 rubles. The fact is that there will be no meeting of the Musical Society's directors until the end of August or the beginning of September, and without a meeting such an order cannot be made. The financial director (K. S. Alekseyev) is also not presently in [[Moscow]]. However, I've just written to [[Jurgenson]] (another director) asking him, if possible, to arrange for the necessary funds to be sent to you somehow. It would be best and simplest if I could send you two hundred rubles myself, but the fact of the matter is that I have no money at all now, for reasons which would take a long time to explain. I'll drop a hint to [[Jurgenson]] in order that he might send you something on account himself, but I just know that [[Jurgenson]]'s finances are relatively tight now. Be that as it may, I'll do everything that I can. At the beginning of September this can be done without difficulty, but you really need it now! God, I'm so annoyed that my financial situation is so poor at this present moment.		I'm very concerned about the matter of the Musical Society sending you 200 rubles.

Вопрос о посылке тебе из Муз[ыкального] общ[ества] 200 р[ублей] очень обеспокоил меня. Дело в том, что раньше конца августа или начала сентября заседание директоров Муз[ыкального] общ[ества] не будет, а без заседания нельзя сделать такого распоряжения. Директора-кассира (К. С. Алексеева) и в Москве теперь нет. Однако ж я сейчас написал Юргенсону (тоже директору), прося его, если возможно, устроить, чтобы как-нибудь тебе послали нужные деньги. Самое лучшее и простое было бы, если бы я мог выслать тебе сам двести рублей, но в том-то и дело, что у меня теперь вовсе денег нет по причинам, которые долго было бы объяснять. Я намекну Юргенсону, чтобы он от себя как бы взаймы послал тебе, но только знаю, что и Юргенсон теперь жмётся в денежном отношении. Как бы то ни было, но я все сделаю, что могу. В начале сентября это можно сделать без затруднений, но ведь тебе нужно сейчас!.. Боже, до чего мне досадно, что я в настоящую минуту
плох в денежном отношении.

Как только получу ответ Юргенсона, сейчас же дам тебе знать. Не пишу ничего про себя, ибо скоро увидимся. Я теперь совсем здоров. И ты будь здоров! Обнимаю тебя, голубчик!
