Ты переслал мне письмо ''Арто'', переданное тебе, вероятно, г[оспож]ей ''Волпянской''. Оставила ли она мне свой адрес? Куда ей писать? Мне нужно войти в письменные сношения с ней.<br />
<br />
Приеду я не раньше начала будущей недели.<br />
<br />
Отчего ты не отвечаешь на письмецо моё, посланное на днях?<br />

{{centre|Dear friend!}}<br />
You forwarded me ''[[Artôt]]'s'' letter, presumably passed to you by a Miss ''Volpyanskaya'' <ref name="note1"/>. Did she leave me her address? Where should I write to her? I need to enter into correspondence with her.<br />
<br />
I won't be coming before the start of next week.<br />
<br />
Why haven't you replied to the note I sent the other day?<ref name="note2"/><br />

<ref name="note1">In her letter from [[Berlin]] on 2/14 April 1888 [[Désirée Artôt-Padilla]] had told Tchaikovsky that one of her pupils, Darya Nikolayevna Volpyanskaya (b. 1861; stage name Doroteya Mirskaya), would be coming to [[Moscow]] soon, and she asked the composer to assist her as best as he could. It seems that [[Artôt]] had given her pupil this letter to take with her to [[Moscow]] in the hope that Tchaikovsky would be there at the same time and that Miss Volpyanskaya could then pass it on to him. However, Tchaikovsky had only passed through [[Moscow]] briefly in late March/early April while on his way home to [[Frolovskoye]] after his holiday in [[Tiflis]] (a three weeks' holiday he took immediately after the conclusion of his first European conducting tour). [[Artôt]]'s letter has been published in {{bib|1970/6|Чайковский и зарубежные музыканты}} (1970), p. 193.</ref><br />
