Тифлuс 3 апр[еля] Многоуважаемый Альберт Христианович!
Простите, ради Бога! Ужасно виноват перед Вами, что только сегодня догадался исполнить обещание своё. Болезнь, поездка в Петербург, путешествие в Таганрог и Тифлис — всё это до такой степени поглотило меня, что я лишь через месяц после нашего свидания с Вами вспомнил о лестном для меня намерении г. Боданова поместить мою рукопись в числе его автографов. Анатолий и Параша усердно Вам кланяются. Они и девочка их, слава Богу, совершенно здоровы. Ваш, искренно преданный Вам П. Чайковский Симфония «Манфред», ч[асть] 1-я. |
Tiflis 3 April Most respected Albert Christianovich!
Forgive me, for God's sake! I'm awfully guilty before you for not having fulfilled my promise until today. Illness, a journey to Petersburg, travelling to Taganrog and Tiflis — all this consumed me to such an extent that it's already a month after our meeting that I remembered Mr Bogdanov's flattering invitation to include my manuscript among his autographs. Anatoly and Parasha bow earnestly to you. They and their daughter are completely healthy, praise God. Your sincerely devoted, P. Tchaikovsky |
