[[Anatoly Brandukov|Tolichka]]! Thank you for taking part in the ''audience''. I miss you very much and I'm dying to see my dear ''Alphonse'' and kiss him. I conducted the opera three times and just imagine — they say it wasn't bad. In the 3rd week of Lent I'm conducting a grand concert of my works in [[Petersburg]]. How's that! Write me a word or two about how you're living, and whether you're content in [[Paris]]. I'm working like a horse, and therefore I'm confined to just a short note. I kiss you, golubchik! | [[Anatoly Brandukov|Tolichka]]! Thank you for taking part in the ''audience''. I miss you very much and I'm dying to see my dear ''Alphonse'' and kiss him.

Г[ород] Клии. Майданово Толичка! Спасибо тебе, что принял участие в audience. Я очень соскучился по тебе и смерть хочется увидеть моего милого Альфонса и расцеловать его. Я дирижировал три раза оперой и представь, — говорят, что недурно. На 3-ей неделе поста дирижирую большим концертом из моих сочинений в Петербурге. Каков! Напиши словечко как живёшь, доволен ли Парижем. Я работаю как лошадь, а потому и ограничиваюсь только коротенькой записочкой. Целую тебя, голубчик! Твой П. Чайковский |
Tolichka! Thank you for taking part in the audience. I miss you very much and I'm dying to see my dear Alphonse and kiss him. I conducted the opera three times and just imagine — they say it wasn't bad. In the 3rd week of Lent, I'm conducting a grand concert of my works in Petersburg. How's that! Write me a word or two about how you're living, and whether you're content in Paris. I'm working like a horse, and therefore I'm confined to just a short note. I kiss you, golubchik! Yours P. Tchaikovsky |
