{{centre|Милый друг Ипполит Карлович!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Некто &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Тушмалов&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, окончивший курс нынче весной в Петербургской консерватории, узнал от Направника, что будто бы у Вас в Москве требуется для тебя помощник и что хотя жалованья такому второму дирижёру не полагается, но место это можно получить, если от всякого вознаграждения отказаться. Не знаю, правда ли это? &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Тушмалов&amp;#039;&amp;#039; просит меня рекомендовать тебе его, и я это могу сделать с величайшей охотой, ибо под его дирижёрством шла прошлой зимой в Москве моя опера «Опричник», и я был в совершенном восторге от оркестрового исполнения. У &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Тушмалова&amp;#039;&amp;#039; есть средства к жизни, и если в самом деле такое место получить ему можно, то ты бы увидел впоследствии, что рекомендация моя заслуженна.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Каковы дела по части ангажемента Скомпской и Фёрстер?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Обнимаю тебя.&lt;br /&gt;

|Translated text={{right|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Town of [[Klin]], [[Moscow]] province&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;18 June 1889&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{centre|Dear friend [[Ippolit Altani|Ippolit Karlovich]]!}}&lt;br /&gt;
A certain &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Tushmalov&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, who graduated this spring from a course at the [[Petersburg]] conservatory, has learned from [[Nápravník]] that you may be requiring an assistant in [[Moscow]] and that although the salary of a second conductor cannot be guaranteed, he might still be appointed if he declines any sort of remuneration. I do not know whether this is true? &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Tushmalov&amp;#039;&amp;#039; asked me to recommend him to you &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, and I can do so extremely readily, because my opera &amp;quot;[[The Oprichnik]]&amp;quot; was given under his direction last winter in [[Moscow]] &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, and I was completely delighted with the orchestra&amp;#039;s performance. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Tushmalov&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is possessed of a livelihood, and if he were in fact to be appointed to such a position, then you will subsequently see that my recommendation is well deserved &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How are matters regarding the engagements of [[Adelina Skompskaya|Skompskaya]] and [[Berta Foerstrová-Lautererová|Förster]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I embrace you.&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;Mikhail Makarovich Tushmalov (1866-1896) was a conductor and violin instructor, who had graduated from the [[Leopold Auer]]&amp;#039;s violin classes at the [[Saint Petersburg]] conservatory in 1885, and then from [[Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov]]&amp;#039;s music theory classes in 1889.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Letter from Tushmalov to Tchaikovsky dated 13/25 June 1889.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tchaikovsky was mistaken: Tushmalov conducted &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Oprichnik]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; at the [[Saint Petersburg]] Conservatory on 18/30 December 1888, in the composer&amp;#039;s presence.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;From 1890 to 1893 Tushmalov served as second conductor at the [[Warsaw]] Theatre.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
