Уж начинаются просьбы.

1) Потрудись послать в ''Прагу'' на имя ''{{sic|Velebin|Velebín}} Urbánek'' один экземпляр «''Чародейки''» и запиши все это в мой счёт.

2) Потрудись послать к ''Звереву'' мои часы, которые Алексей где-то у тебя поставил. Зверев Христом-Богом просил меня эти часы ему продать; я решительно отказал, но позволил до весны держать их у себя.
{{right|Твой, П. Чайковский}}
За какими ключами ты присылал ко мне? У меня никаких ключей не было. Если это ключи от ''поднесения'', то дай знать, я привезу их тебе в воскресенье.

{{centre|Dear friend!}}
The requests have started already.

1) Kindly send to ''[[Velebín Urbánek|{{sic|Velebin|Velebín}} Urbánek]]'' in ''[[Prague]]'' one copy of "''[[The Enchantress]]''", and put all this on my account.

2) Kindly send ''Zverev'' <ref name="note1"/> my watch, which [[Aleksey]] has left somewhere with you. By all that's holy, Zverev asked me to sell him this watch; I flatly refused, but have allowed him to borrow it until the spring.

What's this about you sending me keys? I have no keys whatsoever. If these were the keys for the ''present'', then let me know, I'll collect them from you on Sunday <ref name="note2"/>.
