Спасибо, милый друг Сергей Алексеевич, за письмо и портрет, весьма живо воспроизводящий черты симпатичного мне человечка! Вы спрашиваете, как называется моя новая опера? «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Иоланта&amp;#039;&amp;#039;». В последнее пребывание в Петербурге я вместе с Всеволожским и Направником распределил роли, и Вы назначены вторым исполнителем (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;первый Яковлев&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) партии &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Роберта&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Вам её должны прислать; если же почему-либо не пришлют до конца службы, — то можете получить оперу у Юргенсона по записочке на втором полу листочке. Думаю, что и без &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Сонки&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Вы можете лето провести с пользой для себя. Главное, верьте больше в себя, будьте самоувереннее, старайтесь победить свою робость и излишнюю скромность. Это необходимо для Ваших успехов на сцене, — а &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Сонки&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и его учение сами по себе. До свиданья, голубчик.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Через 2 недели уезжаю за границу.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Искренно любящий,&lt;br /&gt;

Thank you, dear friend [[Sergey Borisoglebsky|Sergey Aleksandrovich]], for your letter and the portrait &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, which for me captures your fine personal appearance extremely vividly! You ask what my new opera is called? &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Iolanta]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. On my last visit to [[Petersburg]], along with [[Vsevolozhsky]] and [[Nápravník]] I assigned the roles, and you were selected for the second performance (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Yakovlev is first&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; of the part of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Robert&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. You should be sent this, but if for any reason you do not receive it before then end of your service &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, then you can obtain the opera from Jurgenson&amp;#039;s using the note on the second half of the sheet &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note5&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. I think that even without &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sonki&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; you might spend the summer usefully. Most importantly, believe more in yourself, be more confident, try to conquer your timidity and excessive modesty. This is essential for you to succeed on the stage — &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sonki&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and his lessons notwithstanding. Farewell, golubchik.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2 weeks&amp;#039; time I shall be going abroad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With sincere affection,&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Sergey Borisoglebsky]]&amp;#039;s letter of 10/22 May 1892 and accompanying photograph are both preserved in the [[Klin]] House-Museum Archive.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Leonid Yakovlevich Yakovlev (1858-1919), who had also given the first performance of the role of Yeletsky in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Queen of Spades]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1890).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Sergey Borisoglebsky]] was in military service at this time.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The music tutor to which the Imperial Theatres had assigned [[Borisoglebsky]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;See [[Letter 4689]]. It is uncertain whether Tchaikovsky had in mind [[Pyotr Jurgenson]]&amp;#039;s store in [[Moscow]], or his brother [[Osip Jurgenson|Osip]]&amp;#039;s in [[Saint Petersburg]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
