Простите, я не поеду с Вами к Троице, несмотря на все желание. Получил письмо от Модеста, который просит побывать сегодня в Малом театре и сообщить, как идут «Предрассудки» со сделанными им купюрами. Завтра наконец уезжаю домой.<br />
<br />
Целую Ваши ручки,<br />
{{right|П. Чайковский}}<br />
Осипу Ивановичу и его барышням передайте искреннейшее сожаление, что не поеду с вами.<br />

Forgive me for not accompanying you to the Trinity <ref name="note1"/>, much as I would have wished. I received a letter from [[Modest]], asking me to attend the Maly Theatre today and report on how ''Prejudices'' <ref name="note2"/> goes with the cuts he has made. Tomorrow I shall finally be going home. <br />
<br />
I kiss your hands.<br />
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />
Give [[Osip Jurgenson|Osip Ivanovich]] and his young ladies my sincerest regrets that I won't be with you.<br />
