Посылаю Вам письмо к Гензельту. Лично я его не знаю, но написать можно, и от души желаю, чтобы Ваше ходатайство увенчалось успехом.<br />
<br />
Весьма жаль, что так складываются обстоятельства, что я редко встречаюсь с Вами. Теперь до осени не придётся видеться, ибо я уезжаю в Киевскую губернию и вернусь в сентябре.<br />
<br />
Недавно был в Петербурге и видел Кондратьевых. Эмма все та же, да и вообще они все три не меняются. А бедного Ник[олая] Дм[итриевича] на свете нет! До сих пор не могу к этому привыкнуть.<br />
<br />
Будьте здоров,<br />

{{centre|Dear [[Anna Aleksandrova-Levenson|Anna Yakovlevna]]!}}<br />
I am sending you the letter to Henselt <ref name="note1"/>. I do not know him personally, but I can still write, and I wish with all my heart that your petition will be blessed with success <ref name="note2"/>.<br />
<br />
It is most unfortunate that circumstances allow us to meet so rarely. Now it happens that we shall not see each other before the autumn, because I am leaving for [[Kiev]] province and returning in September.<br />
<br />
I was in [[Petersburg]] recently and saw the Kondratyevs. Emma was much the same, and indeed all three of them have not really changed. And poor [[Nikolay Kondratyev|Nikolay Dmitryevich]] is not in this world! I still cannot become accustomed to this.<br />
<br />
Keep well,<br />
{{right|Yours P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />
