Послезавтра, милый друг, уезжаю почти прямо в Клин через Петербург. По получении сего пошли тотчас все корректуры и все, что меня может коснуться, в ''Клин'', ибо в Москву я приеду не сразу, а отдохнувши немножко в Клину. Господи, как ''Виши'' мне надоел!!!

Я от ''Листа'' имел всего одно маленькое письмецо, столь незначащее, — что посылать его ''La Mar'е'' не стоит. Лист был добряк и охотно отвечал на все ухаживания, — но так как ни к нему и ни к какой знаменитости я никогда не приставал с своими делишками, — то поэтому в сношениях с ним и не состоял. Впрочем он, кажется, искренно предпочитал мне гг. ''Кюи'' и других, ездивших к нему на поклон в Веймар, но вместе с тем и симпатичных ему по их музыке. Никакого особенного сочувствия к моим произведениям Лист, сколько мне известно, не имел.

До свиданья! Будь здоров.

The day after tomorrow, dear friend, I'm leaving almost directly for [[Klin]] via [[Petersburg]]. All the proofs were sent at the same time as this, and everything that might be connected to me to ''[[Klin]]'', because I won't be going to [[Moscow]] immediately, but resting a little at [[Klin]]. Lord, how ''[[Vichy]]'' has worn me out!!!

I had only one short letter from ''[[Liszt]]'': so insignificant that it's not worth sending to ''La Mara'' <ref name="note1"/>. [[Liszt]] was good-natured and readily replied to all solicitations — but since I've never pestered him or any other celebrity with my attentions, I didn't have any dealings directly with him. But he seems to have genuinely preferred me to Messrs [[Cui]] and others who paid their respects to him in Weimar, even though he was kind to them and their music. So far as I know [[Liszt]] had no particular sympathy for my works.

Until we meet! Keep well.

<ref name="note1">Tchaikovsky was replying to [[Pyotr Jurgenson]]'s letter of 26 June/8 July 1892, in which the latter passed on a request from the German writer and music historian Ida Marie Lipsius (1837-1927), who wrote under the pseudonym "La Mara", for any letters that Tchaikovsky may have received from [[Franz Liszt]], to be included in a forthcoming collection of [[Liszt]]'s correspondence — ''Franz Liszt's Briefe'' in 8 volumes (Leipzig, 1893–1905). Not long before his death in 1886 [[Liszt]] also sent Tchaikovsky a signed photograph with the "little letter" to which Tchaikovsky referred, which is now preserved in the [[Klin]] House-Museum archive.</ref>
