Я так виноват перед Вами, что только остаётся склонить повинную, а Вас убедительно просить не сечь её покамест. С 7-го числа я опять в Москве и тогда займусь сбором подписей для прошения. Должен Вам признаться, что различные треволнения и хлопоты, заставили меня позабыть о ''письме'' хотя я много раз имел случай получить нужные подписи. Вот Вам урок: никогда нашему брату ''музикусу'' не поручать чего-нибудь делового. До свидания!

Искренно преданный,
