Провёл около недели у себя, имея о Губерте ежедневные скверные известия. Сейчас получил от от А[лександры] Ив[ановны] Губ[ерт] телеграмму: «''часы сочтены''». Еду в Москву и останусь пока все не кончится. Очень мне будет тяжко все это.

Очень много работал; «''Гамлет''» почти совсем готов. 25-го ездил в Спасское к фон-Визиным. За Щаповым удивительно красивая местность, и Спасское мне страшно по нравилось. У меня все на зимнем положении и оказалось очень тёплое хорошо. Надеюсь, что у вас все благополучно. Целую тебя, Колю, Боба.

I've spent around a week at home, having had bad news every day about [[Hubert]] <ref name="note1"/>. I've just received a telegram from [[Aleksandra Hubert|Aleksandra Ivanovna Hubert]]: "''hours are numbered''". I am going to [[Moscow]] and will stay until everything is over. This will all be very difficult for me.

I've been working a lot; "''[[Hamlet (overture-fantasia)|Hamlet]]''" is almost completely ready. On 25th I went to [[Spasskoye]] for von Wiesen <ref name="note2"/>. After Shchapov the terrain is surprisingly beautiful, and I liked [[Spasskoye]] terribly. I'm all set for winter and it's turned out to be pleasantly warm. I hope that all is fine with you. I kiss you, [[Kolya]], [[Bob]].
