Модинька! Мне ужасно хочется пасху встретить со всеми вами в Петербурге, но я очень боюсь, что меня там начнут тормошить, а я решительно не могу. Поэтому я, вероятно, приеду не более как дня на 2 инкогнито. Пора, страшно пора мне засесть дома!

Отсюда я выезжаю через неделю, в четверг 14-го числа, и в начале страстной буду в Москве. У вас же буду в субботу, будем разговляться у Саши, а засим я на 2-ой день пасхи хочу ехать в ''Фроловское'' (моё новое жилище).

Во всяком случае, до скорого свиданья. Напиши мне в Москву, думаешь ли ты, что я спокойно могу провесть дня Петербурге?? Адресуй Юргенсону.

Здесь все благополучно и очень приятно. Я пустился в литературу; пишу историю своей поездки.

[[Modinka]]! I terribly wanted to meet with you all in [[Petersburg]] at Easter, but I'm very much afraid that they'll start pestering me there, which I absolutely cannot take. Therefore I probably won't come for more than a day or two, incognito. It's time, high time, for me to settle into my home!

I'm leaving here in a week, on Thursday 14th, and will be in [[Moscow]] for the start of Easter. I'll be with you on Saturday, and we'll break the fast at [[Aleksandra Davydova|Sasha]]'s, and on the day after Easter I want to go to ''[[Frolovskoye]]'' (my new residence).

In any event, we'll see each other soon. Write to me in [[Moscow]] whether you think that I can safely spend a day in [[Petersburg]]??<ref name="note1"/> Address it to [[Jurgenson]].
