Голубушка Софья Ивановна!
[...] дайте мой зимний адрес, а про теперешний скажите, что не знаете и что, уезжая в путешествие по России, я просил адресовать письма в Консерваторию. Простите, что задержал корректуру 2-го действия. Завтра, во вторник, буду в Москве и лично переговорю с г. Александровым, которому, впрочем, написал. Какая Вы милая и добрая! Целую Ваши ручки. Ваш П. Чайковский |

Give [...] my winter address, and as for the present, say that you don't know, and that as I'm leaving Russia on a trip, I've asked for letters to be addressed to the Conservatory. Forgive me for the delay in the 2nd act proofs [1]. Tomorrow, Tuesday, I shall be in Moscow and will personally speak with Mr Aleksandrov, to whom I've written anyway [2]. How good and kind you are! I kiss your hands. Yours P. Tchaikovsky |
