==Text and Translation==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Lettertext&lt;br /&gt;
|Language=Russian&lt;br /&gt;
|Translator=Brett Langston&lt;br /&gt;
|Original text={{right|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;19 сент[ября]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Москва&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Модя! Пишу лишь несколько слов. Я в Москве по некоторым делам, но главное по случаю смертельной болезни бедного Губерта. Он совершенно безнадёжен: водяная в мозгу, полная потеря умственных и физических сил, и с минуты на минуту-ожидается [кончина]. Отчаяние бедной Алекс[андры] Иван[овмы] превосходит всякое вероятие. Очень все это печально.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Лароши процветают. Ты спрашиваешь про &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Улыбышева&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. В октябре Ларош будет у меня жить и писать примечания и предисловие, которые я обязался Юргенсону доставить к 1-му ноября. До конца будущего месяца я в Петерб[урге] не буду. Приеду уже прямо к концерту, который назначен на 5 ноября. Программа будет состоять из трёх моих летних трудов: симфонии, «Гамлета» и Ларошевской увертюры.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Симфония производит здесь настоящий фурор среди музыкантов.&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Твой, П. Чайковский}}&lt;br /&gt;
Вероятно, я всё-таки завтра уеду в Фроловское, если до тех пор бедный Губ[ерт] не скончается. Очень уж тяжело мне переносить все это.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|Translated text={{right|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;19 September&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Moscow]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Modya]]! I&amp;#039;m just writing a few words. I&amp;#039;m in [[Moscow]] on various matters, but principally because of [[Hubert]]&amp;#039;s mortal illness. It is completely hopeless: water on the brain, and a complete loss of mental and physical strength, and the end is expected at any moment. Poor [[Aleksandra Hubert|Aleksandra Ivanovna]]&amp;#039;s despair is worse than anything imaginable. This is all very sad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Laroche]] is thriving. You ask about &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ulybyshev&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. In October [[Laroche]] will be living with me and write the notes and foreword, which I undertook to give to [[Jurgenson]] by 1st November. I won&amp;#039;t be in [[Petersburg]] before the end of next month. I&amp;#039;ll come directly for the concert, which is scheduled for 5 November &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.. The programme will consist of my three summer things: the symphony &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, &amp;quot;[[Hamlet (overture-fantasia)|Hamlet]]&amp;quot; and [[Laroche]]&amp;#039;s overture &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symphony is causing a genuine sensation among the musicians.&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;#039;ll probably go to [[Frolovskoye]] tomorrow, even if poor [[Hubert]] hasn&amp;#039;t expired by then. All this is so very hard to bear.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes and References==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;references&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;At his brother&amp;#039;s suggestion, [[Modest Tchaikovsky]] had been translating Aleksandr Ulybyshev&amp;#039;s three-volume &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Nouvelle biographie de Mozart&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1843) into Russian, for which [[Herman Laroche]] had agreed to supply notes and a foreword.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Symphony No. 5]] in E minor, Op. 64.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tchaikovsky was due to conduct a concert of the [[Saint Petersburg]] Philharmonic Society on 5/17 November 1888.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tchaikovsky&amp;#039;s orchestration of [[Herman Laroche]]&amp;#039;s [[Overture-Fantasia (Laroche)|overture-fantasia]], which he had completed on 9/21 September 1888. In some sources this overture is mistakenly confused with as [[Laroche]]&amp;#039;s earlier &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Carmosine&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (Кармозина).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
