{{centre|Милейший мой<br/>Ангел Мамаша!}}
Я пишу вам одним потому что верно Папашу уж вы проводили до Шайтанска.

Мне все кажется что вы или в Казани, или в Нижнем Новгороде. Но я не думаю что бы вы бы не исполнили такую просьбу какова была моя вы верно сюрпризом поехали с Папашей. Я не буду вам много писать оттого что верно все это я делаю напрасно. Но если вас Папаша оставил в Алапаеве вам скучно так надо вас повеселить бабочка моя, которая любит своего Петрушку или Попку который вас обожает и который с жадностью ждет той минуты, чтобы поцеловать вашу прекрасную ручку. Папашину я наверно поцелую а вашу Бог знает когда.

Прощайте мой Ангельская душка.
{{right|Ваш, Pierre}}

{{centre|Милая Сестрица. }}
Целую вас от всего сердца и благодарю за милое ваше письмо.

Целую ручки у Тёти Лизы и Н[астасьи] П[етровны] и всех братишков и сестер.

{{centre|My dearest<br/>Angel [[Mamasha]]}}
I am writing to you alone because you have probably already seen [[Papasha]] off as far as Shaitansk <ref name="note2"/>.

I keep thinking that you are either in Kazan or in [[Nizhny Novgorod]]. For I don't think that you would be capable of not fulfilling a request such as mine: I am sure you have gone with [[Papasha]] as a surprise. I shall not write to you much because I am sure I am doing all this in vain. However, if [[Papasha]] did leave you behind in [[Alapayevsk|Alapayeva]], you must be sad, and so it is necessary to cheer up my butterfly who loves her Petrushka or Popka <ref name="note3"/>, who in turn adores you and eagerly awaits that moment when he can kiss your wonderful hand. I shall kiss [[Papasha]]'s for sure, but God knows when I shall kiss yours.

Goodbye, my Angelic dear one.
{{right|Yours, Pyotr}}
-----
{{centre|Dear Sestritsa <ref name="note4"/>. }}
I kiss you with all my heart and thank you for your sweet letter.
{{right|Pyotr T. }}
I kiss the hands of [[Aunt Liza]] and Nastasya Petrovna <ref name="note5"/> and all my little brothers and sisters.

==Notes and References==
<references>
<ref name="note1">See [[Letter 10]] to his parents on 8/20 November 1850.</ref>
<ref name="note2">[[Ilya Tchaikovsky]] had promised to visit his sons Pyotr and [[Nikolay]], who were studying at boarding-schools in [[Saint Petersburg]]. After making the long journey from [[Alapayevsk]] in the Urals to [[Saint Petersburg]], he spent about three weeks with them in September before returning home. Shaitansk is a small settlement on the banks of the Neiva River in the Central Urals.</ref>
<ref name="note3">Literally "parrot; Polly". As we find out from [[Letter 30]], it was [[Aleksandra Tchaikovskaya]] who called her son by this affectionate name.</ref>
<ref name="note4">'Sestritsa', or 'little sister', was the affectionate name for Tchaikovsky's much older cousin, Anastasiya Vasilyevna Popova (1807–1894), the daughter of [[Ilya Tchaikovsky]]'s older sister [[Yevdokiya Popova]].</ref>
<ref name="note5">Anastasiya Petrovna Petrova (1824–1893) had joined the Tchaikovsky family in [[Alapayevsk]] on 24 November/6 December 1849 as a governess, specifically with the task of preparing Pyotr for the School of Jurisprudence in [[Saint Petersburg]]. After spending some three years with the Tchaikovskys she worked as a governess in various other families, but returned to her first employer in 1859, when she took charge of the twins, [[Anatoly]] and [[Modest]].</ref>
