Милый Толя! Очень трудно мне писать письма. Происходит обычная при постановках оперы суета, от которой голова кругом ходит. Репетиции идут хорошо. Лизу поёт ''Сионицкая'' (по-моему, лучше Медеи); Герман — ''Медведев'' будет, конечно, похуже Фигнера. Остальное все на том же уровне. Постановка беднее, — но недурна.


Концерт мой в Петербурге состоится не 23 ноября, а 14 декабря. Поэтому я изменила свои прожекты. 7-го ноября я еду в Петербург, а 9 или 10-го приеду к вам дня на 3, чтобы повидаться, — уж очень хочется повидаться с вами. Ради Бога, устрой мне {{und2|проклятый инкогнито}}, по крайней мере насколько это ввиду приличия возможно. Затем поеду в деревню работать недели на 3, а потом опять увидимся.

Dear [[Tolya]]! It's very hard for me to write letters. There's all the usual fuss that goes with the staging of an opera, from which my head is spinning. Rehearsals are going well <ref name="note1"/>. ''Sionitskaya'' <ref name="note2"/> is singing Liza (in my opinion, better than Medea <ref name="note3"/>); ''Medvedev'' <ref name="note4"/> is Herman, certainly worse than [[Figner]]. The rest are of a similar standard. The staging is poorer, but not too bad.

My concert in [[Petersburg]] will take place on 14 December, rather than 23 November. Consequently I've altered my plans. On 7th November I'm going to [[Petersburg]], and on 9th or 20th I'll come to you for 3 days in order to see you—I very much want to see you. For God's sake, make sure I'm {{und2|damned well incognito}}, at least so far as as respectably possible. Then I'll return to the country to work for 3 weeks, and then we'll see each other again.
| [[Ilya Tchaikovsky]]
 
| 26 December 1868/7 January 1869
I hug you tightly. I'm not writing any more because I'm rushing to a rehearsal.
