Податель сей записочки г. ''Арс'' имеет до Вас дело. Потрудитесь принять и выслушать его. Он написал ''пиэсу-феерию'', по-моему, очень сценичную и интересную, и желал бы поставить её на императорской сцене. Если возможно, окажите ему Вашу протекцию.<br />
<br />
Искренно уважающий Вас,<br />

{{centre|Dear [[Pavel Pchelnikov|Pavel Mikaylovich]]!}}<br />
The bearer of this note, Mr ''Ars'', has some business with you. Kindly receive him and listen to him. He has written a ''fairy tale'', which in my opinion is very special and interesting, and should like it to be put on by the Imperial Theatres <ref name="note1"/>. If possible, kindly offer him your guidance.<br />
<br />
With sincere respect for you,<br />

==Notes and References==<br />

<ref name="note1">The composer and director Nikolay Andreyevich Ars (1858-1902) had written a play which included some of Tchaikovsky's early compositions. Despite the objections of [[Pyotr Jurgenson]], Tchaikovsky was enthusiastic about the project, and recommended it to the Imperial Theatres. However, nothing came of this idea and it seems that the unnamed play was never performed or published anywhere.</ref><br />
