| |
| Спасибо тебе за милую твою рожу, получнную мной сегодня и весьма меня обрадовавшую. Только жаль, что маленькая, а не кабинетная. Но и за это большое тебе спасибо.
| |
| | |
| Думаю, что тебе теперь скучненько без всякого дела жить. На масленицу или на первой недели поста я буду в Петербурге и увижу тебя.
| |
| | |
| Сегодня здесь был твой отец, но я его не видел, потому что вернулся из Москвы как раз после того, как он уехал.
| |
| | |
| Алексей в моё отсутствие праздновал тут день своего рождения. У него было много гостей, ужин, танцы. Ариша плясала русскую пляску, и, кажется, много водки было выпито.
| |
| | |
| До свидания, милый мой Васютка; целую тебя крепко.

| {{centre|My dear young [[Petersburg]] outcast <ref name="note1"/> [[Vasily Filatov|Vasya]]!}}
| |
| Thank you for your sweet face, I which I was gladdened to receive this morning <ref name="note2"/>. I'm only sorry that it's a small one, not a cabinet. But thank you very much for that.
| |
| | |
| I think you now have a boring life without anything to do. At Shrovtide or in the first week of Lent I will be seeing you in [[Petersburg]].
| |
| | |
| Your father was here today, but I didn't see him, because I returned from [[Moscow]] just after he left.
| |
| | |
| In my absence [[Aleksey]] celebrated his birthday here. He had many guests, supper, dances. Arisha danced a Russian dance, and, it seems, much vodka was drunk.
| |
| | |
| Until we meet, my dear [[Vasily Filatov|Vasyutka]]; I kiss you hard.
| |
