10 апр[еля]

Посылаю тебе корректуру первых 56 стр[аницы]. Хоть я в качестве автора нашёл немало кое-чего для поправки, но всё-таки Дальгрен хорошо сделал корректуру.

Пришли, пожалуйста, 100 р[ублей], — все истратил.

П. Чайковский

Сейчас еду на репетицию. Вчера был на репетиции «Роллы»; я в востоооооорге.

Следующую корректуру мне.

10 April

I'm sending you the first 56 pages of proofs [1]. Although, because I'm the author, I found many things for correction, Dahlgren [2] still did the proofreading well.

Please send 100 rubles — I've spent everything.

P. Tchaikovsky

I'm going to rehearsals now {[3]. Yesterday I was at rehearsals for "Rolla" [4]; I'm sooooooo delighted.

Send the next proofs to me.
