| Милый подвижной составчик. Музыка улетучивается в среду вечером в Майданово и желает в 6 часов упитать себя очёсками шерсти и другими прелестями локомотивной кухни Конотопского старожила. Итак, знай, что музыка, драма (Модест) и история (Н. Конради) явятся в 6 часов послезавтра. Нельзя ли также позвать Анну Мерклинг, Никса и вообще из родных? К сожалению, Маля уехала.
Целую и обнимаю. Если встретишь Вакара, говори, что я уехал. Он пристаёт ужасно. П. Чайковский |
Dear little engine. The music will be condensing in Maydanovo on Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, and wants to stoke itself with cotton wool and other ingredients of the old Konotopian's locomotive stove. So, know that music and drama (Modest) and history (N. Konradi) will be appearing at 6 o'clock the day after tomorrow. Could you also invite Anna Merkling, Nix and other relatives in general? Unfortunately, Malya has left.
Hugs and kisses. If you're meeting Vakar, tell him that I've left. He's an awful nuisance. P. Tchaikovsky |
