Милый Коля! Очень тебе благодарен за твоё милое письмо. Мне очень жаль, что ты был болен, и я рад, что теперь ты здоров. Скоро я опять приеду в Лион, и потом мы вместе поедем на дачу — ты, Саня, Модест и я.

Здесь без вас мне очень скучно и очень хочется поскорее поехать в Лион, чтобы крепко поцеловать милого ''Колю'', которого я люблю, 1 000 000 000 раз. Прощай, мой милый Коля. Если будешь каждый день делать '''+''', то Господь тебя полюбит и ты будешь всегда умный и послушный мальчик. Крепко тебя целую.
