| Карлуша! Я приеду в Москву в пятницу 24-го утром, а вечером, согласно уговору, должен состояться духовно-музыкальный концерт. Потрудись предупредить Орлова, что вечер непременно состоится. А тебя прошу, голубчик, разослать приглашения, но не действительным членам, а только директорам с семействами, всем профессорам тоже с семействами, да кроме того, я желаю, чтобы вся Консерватория, т. е. все ученики и ученицы, имели право присутствовать на этом вечере.
Голубчик! устрой мне все это. Если нужны печатные письма, пусть напечатают, а я заплачу. Обнимаю тебя! Твой П. Чайковский |
Karlusha! I'm coming to Moscow on Friday 24th, and in the evening the concert of church music should take place accordingly as agreed [1]. Kindly forewarn Orlov that the evening shall certainly take place. And I ask you, golubchik, to send forth invitations, but not to active members, just the directors with their families, all professors also with their families, and besides which I hope that the whole Conservatory, i.e. all male and female students, will be entitled to attend this evening.
Golubchik! Arrange all this for me. If you require printed letters, let them be printed, and I shall pay. I hug you! Yours P. Tchaikovsky |
