{{centre|Дорогая Марья Николаевна!}}
Ко времени Вашего выезда я приготовлю для Вас рекомендательные письма и пошлю их Вам. От души желаю, что бы везде Вы появлялись перед публикой с таким же громадным успехом как в Праге. Хохлов мне подробно рассказывал про Ваши подвиги, и я сердечно радовался.

Не понимаю, каким образом ''дирекция театров'' может с лёгким сердцем расставаться с такими артистами, как Вы. Ведь на Вас лежала огромная доля репертуара. В будущем году, напр[имер], хотят дать «''Онегина''» с новой обстановкой, — а Татьяны ведь нет! Удивительно! Есть маленькая надежда, что пригласят ''Скомпскую''. Она симпатична и талантлива, — но репертуара у ней нет ещё. Да и кто знает, пойдёт ли она?

Ну, добрейшая Марья Николаевна, дай Вам Бог хорошенько отдохнуть и укрепиться в силах. Радуюсь, что Вы будете заниматься с моим старым другом ''Арто''. Это гениальная личность, и я убеждён, что она принесёт Вам много пользы. Будьте здоровы!
