(в февр[але]) в 1500 р[ублей], ещё 1500 р[ублей] на четыре года, так что в течение будущих 4-х лет ты будешь получать 3000 р[ублей], а затем 1500 во всяком случае; но, конечно, можно надеяться, что и впоследствии тебе назначат добавочные 1500 р[ублей].

There being no other candidate for the post of director, Tchaikovsky wanted to help [[Albrecht]] to save face by leaving his post voluntarily, and drafted him a notice of resignation, enclosed with the above letter, in return for an enhanced pension. &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> &lt;/references&gt;</div>
