	Dear [[Modya]]! For the whole journey I couldn't decide where to go, because, to tell the truth, I didn't want to go anywhere. But all the same, finally today I settled on [[Florence]], even acquiring tickets in order not to prolong my interminable indecision. Throughout the whole journey I was either frantically miserable (more accurately, homesick), or asleep. [[Nazar]], it seems, is very content. From the border we had a splendid journey in a sleeping compartment. I'm staying at the Hôtel de Rome, and leaving for [[Florence]] this evening. Please, ask everyone to write to me, i.e. [[Vasily Sapelnikov\|Vasya]], [[Bob]], [[Nikolay Konradi\|Kolya]], and Emma. I took [[Nazar]] to the "Aquarium" this morning, and after lunch he walked alone to the museum. He is convinced that [[Berlin]] is superior to [[Petersburg]].		Dear [[Modya]]!

Милый Модя! Я всю дорогу не мог решиться, куда ехать, ибо, по правде, мне никуда не хочется. Но, наконец, сегодня всё-таки остановился на Флоренции, даже взял билеты, чтобы больше не тянуть бесконечной нерешительности. Всю дорогу я или неистово скучал (лучше сказать, тосковал) или спал. Назар, по-видимому, очень доволен. От границы мы ехали отлично, в спальном вагоне. Ах, как мне скучно, как я не в духе, — и даже не понимаю, отчего. Вероятно, работа спасёт меня от этого несносного состояния. Остановились в Hôtel de Rome и сегодня же вечером едем во Флоренцию. Пожалуйста, проси всех мне писать, т. е. Васю, Боба, Колю, Эмму. Водил утром Назара в «Аквариум», а после завтрака он ходил один в музей. Он уверяет, что Берлин лучше Петербурга.

Целую, обнимаю.

Адресуй пока во Флор[енцию] ''Ferma in Posta''.
