Согласно обещанного, по ссылаю Вам свой портрет. Давай Вам Бог всяческого благополучия. Я никак не могу помириться с тем, что, будучи столь милым, умным и образованным человеком, Вы зарабатываете для поддержки семьи такие гроши. Что бы придумать, чтобы поле Вашей деятельности расширилось? Перед кем можно за Вас ходатайствовать? Кое-кого из одесских властей я знаю и рад был бы попросить за Вас. В письме Вашем, коего под рукой не имею, кажется, была просьба об автографе. С удовольствием исполню её. Крепко жму Вашу руку. Авось, увидимся при более благоприятных обстоятельствах и побеседуем по душе. &lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Ваш, П. Чайковский}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{centre|Dear [[Aleksandr Shidlovsky|Aleksandr Ivanovich]]!}}&lt;br /&gt;
In accordance with my promise I am sending you my photograph. May God grant you every success. I cannot reconcile myself to the fact that such a dear, intelligent and educated person as you is earning such a pittance with which to support his family. What could be done to improve your situation? Is there anyone who might petition for you? I have contacts in the authorities in [[Odessa]], and would gladly ask for you. In your letter &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, which I do not have to hand, I seem to remember you asked for an autograph. I am pleased to supply it. I shake your hand. Perhaps we shall meet under more favourable circumstances, and have a sincere discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
