Письмо твоё получил и прочёл его с живейшим интересом. Ты превосходно описал все перепетии, через которые пришлось всем вам перейти. Я очень ясно представляю себе ваши вытянутые, бледные лица в начале оперы (особенно милую маму твою), постепенное их просветление и наконец выражение торжества и счастья. Скажу тебе, что гораздо лучше такой успех, чем наоборот, т. е. когда первое действие вызывает восторг, а затем идёт охлаждение. Я очень, очень рад за твоего отца (которого обними от меня) и за всех вас. Целую ручки Ольги Эдуардовны; поклон братьям и сёстрам. Спасибо!!!&lt;br /&gt;

{{centre|Dear friend [[Vladimir Nápravník|Volodya]]!}}&lt;br /&gt;
I have received your letter and read it with a lively interest. You described excellently all the twists and turns you all had to endure. I very clearly imagined your glum, pale faces at the start of the opera (particularly your dear mother), becoming gradually brighter and ultimately the expressions of triumph and happiness. I tell you that this sort of success is much better than the reverse, i.e. when the first act produces delight, and later it goes cold. I am very, very glad for your father (give him a hug from me) and for all of you. I kiss [[Olga Nápravník (mother)|Olga Eduardovna]]&amp;#039;s hands; bow to your brothers and sisters. Thank you!!!&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Yours P. Tchaikovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
