Вольф мне прислал ''американское'' письмо того господина, который устроил моё приглашение. Это до того выгодно и легко, что было бы безумие упустить случаи съездить в Америку, о чём я так давно мечтал. Этим объясняется моя вчерашняя телеграмма. В Америке, где по телеграфу узнали, что у меня больна рука и что я не приеду, очень обеспокоились и ждут с нетерпением ответа: ''да'' или ''нет''.

Пожалуйста, собери сведения, ''кто и когда'' приедут ко мне в субботу и воскресенье.

Отвечай сейчас же!

{{centre|Dear friend!}}
[[Wolff]] has sent me an ''American'' letter from that gentleman who arranged my invitation <ref name="note1"/>. This is so advantageous and straightforward that it would be madness to miss out on the chance to go to America, which I have long dreamed of. This explains my telegram yesterday <ref name="note2"/>. In America, where they learned by telegram that I had a bad hand, they were very concerned that I was not coming, and were impatiently waiting for a response: ''yes'' or ''no'' <ref name="note3"/>.

Please, put together a list of ''who and when'' are coming to see me on Saturday and Sunday <ref name="note4"/>.

Reply at once!
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}
