{{centre|Милая и добрая Марья Николаевна!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Рад был получить Ваше письмо и главное — тому, что Вы на меня не сердитесь, а я Вашего гнева вполне заслуживаю.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Что Вы до сих пор ещё не успели прошуметь в Париже, то этого и следовало ожидать. В Париже необходимо терпение и готовность ждать — сразу ничего не сделаешь. Мало-помалу надеюсь, что Вы добьётесь успеха.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Поведение M[ada]me Бенардаки меня очень удивляет.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Посылаю Вам письмо к A. Thomas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Я живу здесь уже три недели и совершенно поглощён сочинением оперы («Пиковая дама»), никого не вижу, нигде, кроме загородных пеших прогулок, не бываю и наслаждаюсь одиночеством и возможностью поработать. Моё дело сидеть и сочинять, а вовсе не палкой махать.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Будьте здоровы, дорогая Марья Николаевна!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Искренно преданный,&lt;br /&gt;

|Translated text={{right|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Florence]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; 10/22 February 1890&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Hôtel Washington}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{centre|Dear and good [[Mariya Klimentova-Muromtseva|Marya Nikolayevna]]!}}&lt;br /&gt;
I was glad to receive your letter &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; — most importantly because you are not angry with me, although I fully deserve your wrath. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That you have not yet managed to make a noise in [[Paris]] is to be expected. [[Paris]] requires patience and a willingness to wait — you cannot do anything forthwith. I hope that little by little you will achieve success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I find Madame [[Marie de Benardaky|Benardaky]]&amp;#039;s behaviour most astonishing &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am sending you a letter to [[Ambroise Thomas|A. Thomas]] &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have been living here for three weeks now and am completely absorbed in composing an opera (&amp;quot;[[The Queen of Spades]]&amp;quot;), seeing no-one and going nowhere, with the exception of country walks, but I have been appreciating the solitude and the opportunity to work. My business is sitting and composing, rather than waving a stick about &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep well, dear [[Mariya Klimentova-Muromtseva|Marya Nikolayevna]]!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely devoted,&lt;br /&gt;
