Москва 20 дек[абря] 1883 Многоуважаемая Вера Николаевна!
Виолончелист Брандуков даёт в четверг вечером концерт в зале консерватории. Это очень талантливый, очень симпатичный и вместе очень нуждающийся молодой человек. Беру смелость прислать Вам несколько билетов, покорнейше прося если не всё, то некоторые из них взять. Это будет с Вашей стороны добрым делом, но, кажется, можно и удовольствия ожидать от концерта. Прошу Вас передать мои приветствия Павлу Михайловичу и всему семейству Вашему и верить в искреннее уважение моё и преданность. П. Чайковский Р. S. Прошу слова 2 ответа. |

I have taken the liberty of sending you some tickets, humbly asking that you accept some of them, if not all. This will be a good deed on your part, but I think you can expect to be pleased by the concert. I ask you to convey my greetings to Pavel Mikhaylovich and your whole family, and be assured of my sincere respect and devotion. P. Tchaikovsky P. S. I beg you to send 2 words in reply. |
