Address your story (if you are insuring it) not directly to [[Kamenka]], but ''to the township of Smela (Fastov line, Bobrinsky station)''. I am looking forward to it. I am not writing anything, because the post is going off now and I do not have time, but regarding the question of entering the stage, I shall say that I cannot say anything either ''for'' or ''against'' this, because I do not know and cannot know whether you have a gift for this. I am afraid lest this preoccupation has as little basis as your musical one. I should not want you to experience disappointment again. Anyway, do absolutely as you please, just do not bury in the ground that literary talent, about which I have no doubt. | |||

Каменка 6 мая Леонтий Григорьевич!
Адресуйте Вашу повесть (если будете страховать её) не прямо в Каменку, а в местечко Смелу (Фаст[овская] линия, ст[анция] Бобринская). Ожидаю её с нетерпением. Ничего не пишу, потому что сейчас увозят почту и не имею времени, но касательно вопроса о поступлении на сцену скажу, что ни за, ни против этого сказать ничего не могу, ибо не знаю и не могу знать, есть ли у Вас на это данные. Боюсь, чтобы это не было увлечением столь же мало основательным, как музыкальное. Не хотелось бы, чтобы Вы вновь испытали разочарование. Впрочем действуйте совершенно как Вам угодно, только не зарывайте в землю того таланта, в котором я не сомневаюсь, т. е. литературного. Ваш, П. Чайковский |
Kamenka 6 May Address your story (if you are insuring it) not directly to Kamenka, but to the township of Smela (Fastov line, Bobrinsky station). I am looking forward to it. I am not writing anything, because the post is going off now and I do not have time, but regarding the question of entering the stage, I shall say that I cannot say anything either for or against this, because I do not know and cannot know whether you have a gift for this. I am afraid lest this preoccupation has as little basis as your musical one. I should not want you to experience disappointment again. Anyway, do absolutely as you please, just do not bury in the ground that literary talent, about which I have no doubt. Yours, P. Tchaikovsky |
