26 дек[абря] Многоуважаемый Василий Алексеевич!
Я должен в течение трёх дней безвыходно сидеть в литографии Юргенсона, чтобы сделать сложную, убийственно трудную корректуру, требующую величайшей спешности. Вследствие того прошу Вас позволить мне перенести наше свидание и чтение «Цыган» до будущего понедельника в 3 или 4 часа. Убедительно прошу Вас не сетовать на меня за невольное промедление. Напишите словечко ответа. Искренно преданный, П. Чайковский |
