	Thank you for your prompt reply! The staging of "''[[Iolanta]]''" and "''[[The Nutcracker]]''" is gradually progressing, and it's hoped that all will be ready by the beginning of December.

{{centre|Дорогой Павел Михайлович!}}
Я очень сочувствую Вашей мысли и с радостью готов стоять за осуществление её. Но я не имею никакого поводу начинать об этом беседу с Иваном Александровичем. Дайте мне случай заговорить в этом смысле, устройте так, чтобы Ив[ан] А[лександрович] пожелал узнать моё мнение.

Спасибо за скорый ответ! Постановка «''Иоланты''» и «''Щелкунчика''» понемножку подвигается, и можно надеяться, что к началу декабря все будет готово.

Позвольте Вам заметить, милостивейший государь мой, что упрекать за неразборчивость почерка имеет право только тот, кто сам пишет удобочитаемо. Честное слово, я более часу разбирал письмо Ваше.

Обнимаю Вас, милый Павел Михайлович! Надеюсь, что на «Иоланту» приедете.
{{right|Ваш, П. Чайковский}}

{{centre|Dear [[Pavel Pchelnikov|Pavel Mikhaylovich]]!}}
I am very sympathetic to your idea, and would be delighted to support it <ref name="note1"/>. But I have had no occasion to broach this discussion with [[Ivan Aleksandrovich]]. Give me the chance to talk about this idea, and contrive the situation such that [[Ivan Aleksandrovich]] asks to know my opinion.

Thank you for your prompt reply! The staging of "''[[Iolanta]]''" and "''[[The Nutcracker]]''" is gradually progressing, and it's hoped that all will be ready by the beginning of December.

Allow me to remark, my most gracious sir, that only he who writes legibly himself is entitled to reproach others for unreadable handwriting. On my word of honour I have spent over an hour deciphering your letter.

I embrace you, dear [[Pavel Pchelnikov|Pavel Mikhaylovich]]! I hope that you will come to "[[Iolanta]]".
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}
