Голубчик Жорж! Сообщённое тебе Вал[еряном] Ал[ександровичем] Панаевым известие совершенно верно. Неверно только одно: я обещался странствовать с г. ''Herman'' по Скандинавии в течение не более 6 недель ''не осенью, а зимой'', между 1 янв[аря] и 1 апр[еля]. Осенью я ни в каком случае из России не тронусь, за исключением только небольшой поездки в Прагу, в случае если состоится постановка там одной из моих опер. Замечательно, что ''Herman'' пытается соблазнить ''Таточку мной'', а я главнейшим образом оттого согласился, что мне посулили ''почти наверное, что я буду разъезжать'' с M[ada]me ''Panaeff-Kartsoff''. Меня смущало при этом то, что ведь ''Таточка'' поёт зимой в Итальянской опере как же она поедет в ''Швецию''? Но утешился на той мысли, что, вероятно, мы будем странствовать постом или что вы найдёте возможным получить от г. ''Лаго'' отпуск. Итак, сколько мне кажется, загвоздка состоит именно в несогласии сделанного вам предложения с моим условием, каковое обязывает меня исполнить обещанную ''tournée'' не иначе как зимой. ''Herman'а'' лично я не знаю, но с ''Цетом'' вошёл в сношения и сделал его своим официальным представителем вследствие самых лестных отзывов всех без исключения его знающих, что это очень честный и хороший человек. К тому же и личность его показалась мне очень симпатична. Итак, на твой вопрос, что отвечать ''Herman'у'', скажу, что если ангажемент Лаго не препятствует, то в дело с ним, т. е. Herman'ом, вступить можно, но непременно на таком условии, как со мной, т. е. за неделю до выезда должна быть заплачена ''треть все й предлагаемой суммы''. Такого обеспечения потребовал для меня ''Цет'', и я думаю, что оно очень разумно. Засим нечего и говорить, что я буду невыразимо счастлив, доволен, благополучен, если буду ездить вместе с дорогой Александрой Валерьяновной и тобой.

Я ужасно, искренно, от души радовался успехам Таточки этой зимой. Уверен, что теперь все пойдёт ''crescendo'' и что все прошлые шероховатости в её карьере пройдут как сон.

| ''A Conversation Between Madame de Verteulle and Her Daughter Poline Concerning the Five Senses''
Я сильно работаю; пишу симфонию и многое другое. Крепко целую ручки Алекс[андры] Валер[ьяновны] и тебя, милого человечка, крепко обнимаю. Олю покрываю своими лобзаниями.

Golubchik [[Georgy Kartsov|Zhorzh]]! The news reported to you by Valeryan Aleksandrovich Panayev is perfectly true. Only one thing is incorrect: I've promised to venture to Scandinavia with Mr ''Herman'' for no more than six weeks ''in the winter, not the autumn'', between 1 January and 1 April. I won't be budging from Russia in the autumn, with the exception of just a short trip to [[Prague]], in the event that one of my operas is staged there. It's remarkable that ''Herman'' is trying to seduce ''my [[Aleksandra Panayeva|Tatochka]]'', yet above all I agreed because they promised me that''I will almost certainly be driven around'' with Madame [[Aleksandra Panayeva|Panayeff-Kartsoff]]. At the same time I was confused by the fact that ''[[Aleksandra Panayeva|Tatochka]]'' is singing his winter at the Italian Opera, so how will she go to ''Sweden''? But I was consoled by the thought that we will probably either be gadding around at Lent, or your Mr ''Lago'' will find it possible to grant leave of absence. Thereupon, it seems to me that the snag is precisely your disagreement with the terms of my proposition to you, which obliges me to fulfil the promised ''tournée'' specifically during the winter. I don't know ''Herman'' personally, but I engaged ''Zet'' and made him my official representative as a consequence of the most flattering opinions of everyone acquainted with him, without exception, that he is a very honest and fine person. Moreover, I thought his personality came across very sympathetically. So, as to your question of what to reply to ''Herman'', say that provided arrangements with Lago do not interfere, then you can begin relations with him, i.e. Herman, but assuredly on the same terms as me, i.e. one week before departure ''one third of the entire proposed amount'' must be paid. This condition was demanded for me by ''Zet'', and I think it is very reasonable. I have nothing else to say, except that I will be inexpressibly happy, content and fortunate, if I go together with dear [[Aleksandra Panayeva|Aleksandra Valeryanovna]] and you.
| ''L'enfant parle à son ange gardien''
 
| Poem
I was awfully and sincerely rejoicing with all my heart at [[Aleksandra Panayeva|Tatochka]]'s success this winter. I am sure that from now on everything will go ''crescendo'' and that all the past tribulations of her career will fade like a dream.

I'm working hard; writing a symphony and many other things. I kiss [[Aleksandra Panayeva|Aleksandra Valeryanovna]]'s hands warmly, and you, dear fellow, I hug tightly. I cover Olya with my kisses.
