Пишу тебе это письмо, чтобы сообщить тебе убедительную просьбу Клиндворта прислать ему два экземпляра его переложения «''Ромео и Джульетта''». Он едет 23-го числа и желал бы иметь его до своего отъезда. Я делаю переложение первой части ''симфонии'', которое и перешлю тебе в скором времени вместе с обстоятельным письмом насчёт наших дел. Доследующего письма.

Вчера у нас целый день провёл великий князь и очень остался доволен всем, и в том числе моей симфонией.
