Завтра я высылаю в контору Музык[ального] Общ[ества] партитуру и голоса моей последней симфонии. Партитуру Вы получите покамест неполную. В ней недостаёт скерцо и начала последней части. Это произошло оттого, что Рубинштейн брал с собой скерцо симфонии в Париж, так как он имел в виду исполнить её в одном из русских концертов. Между тем все ноты, которые находились у него в Париже, до сих пор ещё находятся на пути сюда. Как только они получатся, я немедленно вышлю Вам недостающие стр[аницы] партитуры.


Пользуюсь этим случаем, чтоб поблагодарить Вас от души за превосходное исполнение в прошлом сезоне фантазии «''Франческа''». Я забыл это сделать при свиданий с Вами в театре. Спасибо Вам, Эдуард Францович!

One letter from Tchaikovsky to Dmitry Obolensky has survived, dating from 1873, and has been translated into English on this website:
Tomorrow I'm sending the full score and parts of my latest symphony to the Musical Society offices. In the meantime you will receive an incomplete score, lacking the scherzo and the start of the last movement. This has happened because [[Nikolay Rubinstein|Rubinstein]] took the symphony's scherzo with him to [[Paris]], since he had intended to perform at at one of the Russian concerts. Since then all the music he had in his possession in [[Paris]] has still not found its way here. As soon as they are received, I will immediately send you the missing pages from the score.

Permit me to take this opportunity to give you my heartfelt thanks for last season's splendid performance of the "''[[Francesca]]''" fantasia. I forgot to to do this when we met at the theatre. Thank you, [[Eduard Frantsovich]]!
