{{centre|Многоуважаемый Яков Степанович!}}<br />
Подательница сего есть весьма уважаемая мною М. Ф. Иствуд, большая любительница нашего церковного пения. Вы доставите ей величайшее удовольствие, если будете допускать её на некоторые Ваши спевки, а я усмотрю в этом новый знак внимания Вашего ко мне, которое я ''очень, очень ценю''. Передайте моё почтение супруге Вашей, всему хору кланяюсь, а Гришу целую.<br />
<br />
Искренно уважающий Вас,<br />

The bearer of this, M. F. Eastwood <ref name="note1"/>, is highly respected by me, and a great admirer of our church singing. You would give her the greatest pleasure if you will admit her to some of your singing, and I regard this as a fresh sign of your attention to me, which I ''very much appreciate''. Kindly give my regards to your wife, bows to the whole choir, and I kiss Grisha <ref name="note2"/>.<br />
<br />
With sincere respect for you,<br />
