{{centre|Многоуважаемая Надежда Филаретовна!}}
Вчера вечером я написал Вам письмо, которое сегодня утром раздумал было отправить к Вам. Но Ваша сегодняшняя записка окончательно убедила меня в тех предположениях, на которых основано моё вчерашнее письмо. Посылаю его Вам и прошу извинить и простить, если оно покажется Вам неделикатным.

Искренно Вам преданный,
{{right|П. Чайковский}}
4-х переложение первого квартета уже печатается.

{{centre|Most respected [[Nadezhda Filaretovna]]!}}
Yesterday evening I wrote you a letter <ref name="note1"/>, which this morning I thought twice about sending you. But your note from today <ref name="note2"/> ultimately convinced me of those assumptions upon which my letter from yesterday was founded. Therefore I ask you to excuse my sending it to you, and for your forgiveness if it should seem indelicate.

Your sincerely devoted,
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}
A 4-hand arrangement of my [[String Quartet No. 1|first quartet]] has already been printed <ref name="note3"/>.
