	I received your letter yesterday and read it with the keenest pleasure. I am glad that you seem to be living well and cheerfully, and extremely saddened by your economic woes. How often we remembered you in [[Petersburg]] and [[Moscow]]! How often we missed you, and how sad I ''was'' that, arriving in [[Petersburg]], I didn't catch you there. This summer I am determined to sit down and work, and therefore I'm unlikely to make it to ''[[Grankino]]'', but we shall see each other often in the winter, because I plan to settle in [[Petersburg]] itself, or in its vicinity. After [[Modest]] left [[Moscow]], I stayed there for another couple of days, and now I've been sitting here for several days now, straining my nerves with the most awful, backbreaking work — namely, proofreading various old works that are being republished. Finally, thank God, that is finished, and tomorrow I shall go about my true business: composing. [[Maydanovo]] is most ~~unsympathetic~~ to me, especially because there are ''dacha residents'' here, although fortunately for me, they are quiet and peaceful. I seldom see them and never hear them. But in general, living conditions are more comfortable that ''[[Frolovskoye]]'', and there is nobody to interfere with my work. [[Aleksey]], whom I found barely recovered from pneumonia, is now on the mend. The weather is wonderful, I shall have lots of flowers, thanks to the kindness of the owner's son. Please, golubchik, convey my greetings to your mother, kiss Verusha and [[Modest]] for me. Bow to Nara too.		I received your letter yesterday and read it with the keenest pleasure.

{{centre|Дорогой Николаша!}}
Письмо твоё вчера получил и с живейшим удовольствием прочёл. Радуюсь, что тебе, по-видимому, живётся хорошо и весело, и весьма сокрушаюсь о твоих хозяйственных бедствиях. Как мы часто тебя вспоминали в Петербурге и в Москве! Как ты часто нам недоставал, и как мне грустно ''было'', что, приехавши в Петербург, я уже не застал тебя. Это лето я хочу упорно сидеть на месте и работать, и потому вряд ли попаду в ''Гранкино'', но зимой будем часто видеться, ибо я намерен поселиться или в самом Петербурге, или в его окрестностях. После отъезда Модеста из Москвы я ещё оставался там дня два, а затем здесь сижу уже несколько дней и расстраиваю себе нервы самой ужасной, каторжной работой, а именно корректурами разных старых сочинений, вновь издаваемых. Наконец, слава Богу, это кончилось, и завтра я принимаюсь за своё настоящее дело: сочинение. Майданово мне очень несимпатично, особенно потому, что здесь есть ''дачники'', хотя, к моему счастию, довольно тихие и спокойные. Я их редко вижу и никогда не слышу. Но в общем условия жизни комфортабельнее ''Фроловского'', и работать никто не будет препятствовать. Алексей, которого я застал едва оправившимся от воспаления в лёгких, теперь поправляется. Погода стоит чудная, цветов будет у меня много, благодаря любезности сына хозяйки. Пожалуйста, голубчик, передай мои приветствия мамаше, поцелуй за меня Верушу и Модеста. Наре тоже кланяюсь.

Какой ты милый, что написал! Крепко обнимаю.
