{{centre|Милая Лида!}}
Я хотел сегодня побывать у тебя, чтобы поздравить с Новым годом лично. Но я забыл, что до 3 часов у меня классы в Консерватории, а в 4 ко мне приедет из Военной гимназии мой двоюродный брат, которого я обещал сегодня повеселить. Итак, приходится ограничиться письменным пожеланием тебе и всему семейству твоему всякого благополучия.

''Петю'' я очень прошу приехать ко мне в ''понедельник'' в 3 часа и провести со мной этот день. Если можешь отпустить ко мне вместе с ним и Серёжу, то очень тебе буду благодарен. Я бы хотел свести его в театр вместе с Петей.

Целую твои ручки. Кланяйся мужу.

But I had forgotten that I have classes at the Conservatory until 3 o'clock, and at 4 my cousin from the military school is coming to see me, and I promised to entertain him today.

I urge ''Petya'' <ref name="note1"/> to come to see me on ''Monday'' at 3 o'clock, and to spend the day with me. If Seryozha were allowed to accompany him, then I will be very grateful to you. I would like to take him and Petya to the theatre.

I kiss your hands. Regards to your husband.
