25 янв[аря] Милый Володя!
Для тебя записаны 2 ложи, 1) внизу в 1 ярусе и 2) в 3 ярусе по просьбе Чокина. Потрудись послать за ними Чокина, или Тита. Завтра приезжает мой зять, и мне невозможно с тобой обедать. Прошу тебя приехать завтра в 11 часов вечера в: Большой Московский трактир. Дай знать, приедешь ли? Твой П. Чайковский |
25 January Dear Volodya!
I've secured 2 boxes for you, 1) downstairs in the 1st tier and 2) in the 3rd tier at Chokin's request [1]. Kindly send for them via Chokin or Tit [2]. My brother-in-law [3] is coming tomorrow, and it's impossible for me to dine with you. Let me know if you can come to the Grand Moscow Restaurant [4] tomorrow at 11pm? Yours P. Tchaikovsky |
