Ваше превосходительство
милостивый [государь] Фёдор Адольфович! Имею честь препроводить при сем проект заглавного листа к сборнику 12 романсов моего сочинения на посвящение коих государыне императрице воспоследовало всемилостивейшее соизволение её императорского величества, почтительнейше прося Ваше превосходительство сделать на сем листе надлежащую надпись в удостоверение означенного соизволения. При сем считаю долгом объяснить, что так как не все эти романсы ещё награвированы, то я не могу, согласно высказан ному при свидании с Вашим превосход[ительством] обещанию, прислать к Вам корректурного оттиска романсов. Покорнейше прося Ваше превосходительство принять уверение в глубоком уважении, имею честь бы[ть] В[аши]м пок[орнейшим] cл[угой], П. Чайковский |

I consider it my duty to explain that since not all these romances have yet been engraved, then I cannot, according to the promise I made during my meeting with your excellency, send you a proof impression of the romances. Humbly requesting your excellency to accept the assurance of my profound respect, I have the honour to be your humble servant, P. Tchaikovsky |
