	Thank you, dear friend [[Nikolay Konradi\|Nikolasha]], for your efforts in renting a dacha for me, and also for your most sweet, detailed letter. I completely agree with you that the most expedient thing for me to do now is to move to [[Maydanovo]], and in the summer and even the autumn to look for accommodation near [[Petersburg]]. If you only knew how painfully my heart pounds when I contemplate all this! It's so far removed from the bliss of returning home! I'm suffering fiercely from everything that is happening and everything that is still to come, and I've promised myself never again to undertake any trips abroad for the purpose of showing off in front of the public. Spending a few quiet months in Italy or even in [[Paris]] with the aim of working is another matter. Provided I'm alive, I'll be doing so many more times. But for the sake of concerts — never, never, never!		Thank you, dear friend [[Nikolay Konradi\|Nikolasha]], for your efforts in renting a dacha for me, and also for your most sweet, detailed letter.

	However, everything in [[Paris]] is just as ~~sympathetic~~ as before, and were it not for the need to be constantly in the company of strangers, I could live here very pleasantly. I completely understand how [[Modest]] is attached to [[Paris]]. Under the conditions he lives in here, there's nothing for him to experience besides exciting interests and the most diverse pleasures. The first rehearsal of my concert was yesterday. The musicians received me most agreeableally. On the 6th (new style) I'll be going from here to ''[[Rouen]]'' and working there for 10 days. On the morning of the ''18th'', at 5 o'clock, I shall ''sail off'' on the steamer "''Bretagne''", where I already have a separate cabin. Golubchik, please, write to me in America; I'll be in great need of letters from home.

	Спасибо тебе, милый друг Николаша, за твои хлопоты о найме для меня дачи, а также за милейшее обстоятельное письмо твоё. Я совершенно с тобой согласен, что проще всего мне переехать теперь в Майданово, а летом и даже осенью подыскивать помещение под Петербургом. Если бы ты знал, с каким болезненным сжиманием сердца я помышляю обо всем этом! Так далеко ещё до блаженства возвращения домой! Я неистово страдаю от всего про исходящего и всего предстоящего и даю себе слово никогда больше не предпринимать никаких заграничных поездок с целью выставляться перед публикой. Другое дело провести в тишине несколько месяцев в Италии или даже в Париже с целью работать. Это, если жизнь продлится, я буду делать ещё много раз. Но ради концертов никогда, никогда, никогда!

	В Париже, впрочем, все по-прежнему симпатично, и если б не необходимость постоянно бывать в обществе чуждых людей, — здесь жить можно очень приятно. Я совершенно ~~пони-маю~~, что Модест застрял в Париже. При тех условиях, в коих он здесь живёт, ему, кроме постоянного возбуждённого интереса и самых разнообразных удовольствий, ничего не приходится испытывать. Вчера была первая репетиция моего концерта. Музыканты приняли меня очень сочувственно. Отсюда 6-го (нов[ого] ст[иля]) Я уеду в ''Руан'' и буду там работать 10 -дней. ''18-го'' утром в 5 часов ''отплыву'' на пароходе «''Bretagne''», где уже имею отдельную каюту. Голубчик, пиши мне, пожалуйста, в Америку; я буду очень нуждаться в письмах из родины.
