Петербург

Не хочешь ли прислать корректуру концерта ко мне? Я пробуду здесь до 3 дня пасхи. Если же хочешь поручить кому-нибудь из московских, то лучше всего Танееву, в котором я уверен. Третья же корректура, во всяком случае, должна быть у меня.

Я нездоров и поэтому ничего не пишу.

Прощай, дружище.

Твой, П. Чайковский


Would you like to send me the proofs of the concerto? [2] I'll be staying here until the 3rd day of Easter. If you would rather entrust someone from Moscow, then I have the utmost faith in Taneyev. The third set of proofs must be done by me in any case.

I'm unwell and therefore not writing much.

Goodbye, old chap.

Yours, P. Tchaikovsky
