Потрудитесь исполнить одно ''дипломатическое'' поручение. Мне нужно ответить на письмо ''Е. К. Кашкиной'', но, во 1-х она адреса не даёт, а во 2-х нужно, чтобы ''Ник[олай] Дм[итриевич]'' ничего не знал о наших сношениях. Итак, потрудитесь дать знать Лиз[авете] Конст[антиновне] (но так, чтобы Н[иколай] Д[митриевич] не мог знать), что я буду её ожидать в будущий понед[ельник] утром в 10 часов у себя в ''Моск[овской] гостинице''. Если же она предпочтёт видеться со мной в этот же час у Вас, то и это возможно вполне.<br />
<br />
Искренно преданный,<br />

Might I trouble you to undertake one ''diplomatic'' errand. I need to reply to a letter from ''[[Yelizaveta Kashkina|Ye. K. Kashkin]]''<ref name="note2"/> but, firstly, she did not give her address, and secondly, I need ''[[Nikolay Kashkin|Nikolay Dmitryevich]]'' to known nothing about our relations. And so, kindly let [[Yelizaveta Kashkina|Lizaveta Konstantinovna]] know (in such a way that [[Nikolay Kashkin|Nikolay Dmitryevich]] cannot know), that I will be waiting for her next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at my room in the ''Moscow Hotel''. If she would prefer that you were also with us, then this is entirely possible.<br />
<br />
Sincerely devoted,<br />
