I had dinner with [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]] and [[Laroche]]. After [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]] left, I didn&amp;#039;t part from the latter all evening. I went to bed early and slept very well. I spent yesterday miserably. I tried to work, but somehow I couldn&amp;#039;t. Oh that most insufferable institution — the post!!! I have a mass of letters on my conscience, and both yesterday and today I&amp;#039;ve been trying in vain to at least a small portion of the obligatory correspondence — but I can&amp;#039;t do anything. Today I had to mediate in the matter of the Bolshoi Theatre artists having taken offence at the Musical Society. Squabbles, pettiness, ambition, and over-inflated artistic pride — this is what I&amp;#039;ve been floundering  up to my neck in all day. A dispatch from &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Bob]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; yesterday made me inexplicably glad! Did he really &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;to &lt;/del&gt;this on his own initiative? If so, then I&amp;#039;m terribly flattered and overjoyed. Then &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;New Time&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; arrived, and I learned the details from there. Your dispatch came much later. I was at &amp;#039;&amp;#039;d&amp;#039;Albert&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{{&amp;#039;}}s concert in the evening. Today I visited [[Anna von Meck|Anna Meck]]. I found her calm, but terribly pale. It&amp;#039;s clear that she&amp;#039;s been dealt a severe blow. It was so difficult for me to talk with her, in a way that no pen can describe. Generally I&amp;#039;m living these days as if I&amp;#039;m in some sort of nightmare — but I&amp;#039;m completely well. The crowd at &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Cherevichki]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is enormous. The day after tomorrow I&amp;#039;ll write to about how the 2nd performance went. I kiss and hug all three of you, i.e. you, [[Bob]]&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;, &lt;/del&gt;and [[Kolichka]].&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;After you left, dear [[Modichka]], I went home, and by 6 o&amp;#039;clock I was already at the &amp;quot;Hermitage&amp;quot;.

Обедали с Колей и Ларошем. С последним, по отъезде Коли, я не расставался весь вечер. Лёг спать рано и спал очень хорошо. Вчера провёл день грустно. Пытался работать, но как-то не работалось. О невыносимейшее учреждение почта!!! У меня на совести масса писем, и как вчера, так и сегодня я тщетно пытаюсь хоть малую долю обязательной корреспонденции сделать—но никакие могу. Сегодня пришлось хлопотать по делу о обиде артистов Большого театра Музыкальным обществом. Дрязги, мелочность, амбиции и неумеренные самолюбия артистов—вот в чем я по горло барахтался весь день. Вчера неизъяснимую отраду доставила мне депеша &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Боба&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! Неужели он по собственному побуждению это сделал? Если да, то я страшно польщён и обрадован. Затем пришло «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Новое время&amp;#039;&amp;#039;», и из него я узнал подробности. Гораздо позднее пришла твоя депеша. Вечером был на концерте &amp;#039;&amp;#039;д&amp;#039;Альбера&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;, &lt;/del&gt;Сегодня посетил Анну Мекк. Я нашел её покойной, но страшно бледной. Видно, что удар ей нанесён жестокий. Тяжело мне было говорить с ней так, что никаким пером не опишешь. Вообще я живу оба эти дня как в каком-то кошмаре, — но совершенно здоров. Прилив публики на «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Черевички&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» громадный. Послезавтра напишу тебе, как сошло 2[-ое] представление. Целую, обнимаю вас трёх, т. е. тебя, Боба и Количку.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;После твоего отъезда, милый Модичка, я отправился домой, а в 6 ч[асов] уже был в &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;«Эрмитаже»&lt;/ins&gt;.

I had dinner with [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]] and [[Laroche]]. After [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]] left, I didn&amp;#039;t part from the latter all evening. I went to bed early and slept very well. I spent yesterday miserably. I tried to work, but somehow I couldn&amp;#039;t. Oh that most insufferable institution — the post!!! I have a mass of letters on my conscience, and both yesterday and today I&amp;#039;ve been trying in vain to at least a small portion of the obligatory correspondence — but I can&amp;#039;t do anything. Today I had to mediate in the matter of the Bolshoi Theatre artists having taken offence at the Musical Society. Squabbles, pettiness, ambition, and over-inflated artistic pride — this is what I&amp;#039;ve been floundering  up to my neck in all day. A dispatch from &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Bob]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; yesterday made me inexplicably glad! Did he really to this on his own initiative? If so, then I&amp;#039;m terribly flattered and overjoyed. Then &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;New Time&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; arrived, and I learned the details from there. Your dispatch came much later. I was at &amp;#039;&amp;#039;d&amp;#039;Albert&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{{&amp;#039;}}s concert in the evening. Today I visited [[Anna von Meck|Anna Meck]]. I found her calm, but terribly pale. It&amp;#039;s clear that she&amp;#039;s been dealt a severe blow. It was so difficult for me to talk with her, in a way that no pen can describe. Generally I&amp;#039;m living these days as if I&amp;#039;m in some sort of nightmare — but I&amp;#039;m completely well. The crowd at &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Cherevichki]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is enormous. The day after tomorrow I&amp;#039;ll write to about how the 2nd performance went. I kiss and hug all three of you, i.e. you, [[Bob]], and [[Kolichka]].&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

После твоего отъезда, милый Модичка, я отправился домой, а в 6 ч[асов] уже был в «3рмитаже». Обедали с Колей и Ларошем. С последним, по отъезде Коли, я не расставался весь вечер. Лёг спать рано и спал очень хорошо. Вчера провёл день грустно. Пытался работать, но как-то не работалось. О невыносимейшее учреждение почта!!! У меня на совести масса писем, и как вчера, так и сегодня я тщетно пытаюсь хоть малую долю обязательной корреспонденции сделать—но никакие могу. Сегодня пришлось хлопотать по делу о обиде артистов Большого театра Музыкальным обществом. Дрязги, мелочность, амбиции и неумеренные самолюбия артистов—вот в чем я по горло барахтался весь день. Вчера неизъяснимую отраду доставила мне депеша &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Боба&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! Неужели он по собственному побуждению это сделал? Если да, то я страшно польщён и обрадован. Затем пришло «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Новое время&amp;#039;&amp;#039;», и из него я узнал подробности. Гораздо позднее пришла твоя депеша. Вечером был на концерте &amp;#039;&amp;#039;д&amp;#039;Альбера&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, Сегодня посетил Анну Мекк. Я нашел её покойной, но страшно бледной. Видно, что удар ей нанесён жестокий. Тяжело мне было говорить с ней так, что никаким пером не опишешь. Вообще я живу оба эти дня как в каком-то кошмаре, — но совершенно здоров.
