28 марта 1880 Добрейший Евгений Карлович!
Ради Бога, позвольте мне обедать у Вас не завтра, в субботу, а послезавтра, в воскресенье. Если же это Вам неудобно, то не хотите ли, чтобы я провёл у Вас вечер воскресенья? Ради Бога не сердитесь на меня, но по семейным обстоятельствам мне завтра невозможно у Вас быть. Ваш, П. Чайковский |
28 March 1880 Most kind Yevgeny Karlovich!
For God's sake, permit me to dine with you not tomorrow, on Saturday, but rather the following day, on Sunday. If this is inconvenient for you, then would you prefer me to spend Sunday evening with you? For God's sake, don't be angry with me, but because of family circumstances it's impossible for me to be with you tomorrow. Yours, P. Tchaikovsky |
