Москва 17 янв[аря] 1881 Многоуважаемая Екатерина Ивановна!
В понедельник играет Стрепетова в лучшей своей роли. Я большой её поклонник, и мне очень не хотелось бы лишаться удовольствия видеть её. Поэтому позвольте отложить мне посещение Вас до другого вечера, напр[имер] до среды? Будьте так добры, — дайте два слова ответа. Искренно уважающий Вас, П. Чайковский |
