Дело о концерте пошло на лад. ''Colonne'' мне отвечал полным согласием и весьма любезно. Относительно устройства практической стороны концерта он посоветовал мне обратиться к одному г. ''Giacomelli'', которому уже я написал и жду от него ответа.  


Теперь вот в чём дело. Безумно или нет с моей стороны просить ''Виардо'' через Тургенева участвовать в моём концерте? Ведь она пела мои романсы? Если безумно, то бросьте прилагаемое письмо. Если нет, то сходите к Тургеневу и передайте ему это письмо.
|Translated text=Monsieur Tchaikovsky requests Monsieur [[Noël Pascal|Pascal]] to please indicate the time in the afternoon at which he will grant a consultation at his residence 14 Rue Richepanse.
 
Как только получу ответ ''Жиакомелли'', напишу Вам подробно.

{{centre|Dear [[Serezha]]!}}
The plans for the concert are going well <ref name="note1"/>. ''[[Colonne]]'' has replied to me and given his full consent, and most kindly, too <ref name="note2"/>. With regard to the organization of the practical aspects of the concert, he recommends me to get in touch with a certain Mr ''Giacomelli'' — I have already written to him and am awaiting his reply <ref name="note3"/>.  
 
Now here's what. Would it be seen as madness on my part if I were to ask ''[[Viardot]]'', through [[Turgenev]], to take part in my concert? After all, she has performed my songs, hasn't she? If it's a crazy idea, then just throw away the enclosed letter. But if not, then please call on [[Turgenev]] and hand him this letter <ref name="note4"/>.
As soon as I receive a reply from ''Giacomelli'' I shall write to you in detail.
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}
