|Original text={{...}} суток и было столько хлопот и дел, что я давно ни у коего и никогда кроме Консерватории деловых посещений не был. Но ведь известно, что когда гора не идём к Магомету, то Магомет идём к горе. Стоило бы Вам только, узнавши, что я в Москве, забежать ко мне утром или запиской дать знать, что Вам а таком-то часу желательно меня видеть, и я бы устроил свидание с Вами. Я очень рад всегда Вас видеть, но у меня в Москве такая бесчисленная тьма друзей и приятелей, что физической возможности нет видеться с каждым из них, которые не захотят, подобно Магомету, идти к горе.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Я нахожусь теперь в Боржоме у Прасковьи Владимировны, которая Вам кланяется. Пью воды, гуляю и предаюсь полнейшей праздности. Знаете ли Вы, что дивный Н. Д. Кондратьев умирает? Дни его сочтены. У него водянка, вследствие болезни почек, совершенно неизлечимой.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если бы Вы знали, что за чудесная страна &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Кавказ&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! Ничего более очаровательного как Боржом, нельзя выдумать.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Будьте здоровы, милая Анна Яковлевна.&lt;br /&gt;

|Translated text={{...}} days and there was so much fuss and business that for a long while I&amp;#039;ve had nothing to do with Conservatory affairs besides my visits. But it is indeed true when the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain. I thought it just be worth your knowing that when I&amp;#039;m in [[Moscow]] if you were to send a messenger or a note to me in the morning to let me know that you would like to see me at such-and-such an hour, then I would arrange to meet you. I&amp;#039;m always very glad to see you, but in [[Moscow]] I have a countless multitude of friends and acquaintances, that it&amp;#039;s a physical impossibility to see every one of them who, like Muhammad, won&amp;#039;t come to the mountain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I presently find myself in [[Borzhom]] with [[Praskovya Vladimirovna]], who bows to you. I&amp;#039;m drinking the waters, walking and indulging in absolute idleness. Do you know that the divine [[Nikolay Kondratyev|N. D. Kondratyev]] is dying? His days are numbered. He has dropsy as a consequence of kidney disease, completely incurable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If only you knew how marvellous the countryside is in the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Caucuses&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! There is nowhere more fascinating as [[Borzhom]], you couldn&amp;#039;t make it up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep well, dear [[Anna Aleksandrova-Levenson|Anna Yakovlevna]]&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;This letter appears to have been written some time after Tchaikovsky&amp;#039;s arrival in [[Borzhom]] on 11/23 June, but before 30 June/12 July 1887, when he received the telegram from [[Nikolay Kondratyev]]&amp;#039;s telegram urging him to visit him in [[Aachen]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
