	Yesterday I was ill all day long, whilst I spent last night in the most painful fashion, and, among other things, the pain and swelling in my gums makes it difficult for me to speak. As a result of this it is essential that today I stay at home all day long. I am very, very sorry not to be able to have lunch with you. Could you not drop in to see me after lunch together with [[Pyotr Jurgenson\|P. I. Jurgenson]]? I should be very glad to see you.

|Original text={{centre|Дорогой Павел Леонтьевич!}}
Вчера мне целый день нездоровилось, а сегодняшнюю ночь я провёл самым болезненным образом и между прочим от боли и опухоли в дёснах могу с трудом говорить. Вследствие этого мне необходимо сегодня просидеть весь день дома. Очень, очень сожалею, что не могу с Вами позавтракать. Не зайдёте ли Вы с П[етром] И[вановичем] Ю[ргенсоном] ко мне после завтрака? Очень бы рад [был] повидать Вас.
