I need it for a while, and if the performance of "''[[The Tempest]]''" is to take place in Holy Week, then I'll return it before then. Announce to all our lot that my opera will be on Good Friday, and if the planned excursion is to take place, then forewarn me so that I can acquire the tickets. But to tell the truth I would rather that no-one came. There's nothing especially good about the opera. But you know how it is. I have another request of you. If there are any letters for me, then send them here (the corner of Kanonerskaya and Mogilevskaya, L'vov House No. 7, apartment No. 24). I really miss [[Moscow]] and our lot. I kiss you very hard. My regards to Mr. Director and Messrs. tutors, students, Yefim, Grigory, Yegor, etc.<ref name="note2"/>		I hope that by the time you receive this letter, "''[[The Tempest]]''" will already be in [[Petersburg]] <ref name="note1"/>.

Надеюсь, что ко времени получения тобою этого письма «''Буря''» уже будет в Петербурге. Она мне нужна ненадолго, и если состоится исполнение «''Бури''» в Москве на святой, то к тому времени я возвращу её. Объяви всем нашим, что моя опера пойдёт в пятницу на святой, и если состоится предполагаемая поездка, — то предупреди, чтобы я мог достать билеты. Но по правде сказать я бы лучше желал, чтоб никто не приехал. Ничего особенно хорошего в опере нет. А впрочем, — как знаете. Ещё у меня к тебе просьба. Если имеются на моё имя письма, то пришли мне сюда (на углу Канонерской и Могилевской, дом Львова № 7, кв[артира] № 24). Я очень скучаю по Москве и всех наших. Целую тебя очень крепко. Кланяйся Г. Директору и всем г.г. преподавателям, ученикам, ученицам, Ефиму, Григорию, Егору и т. д.
