|Original text={{centre|Милые Папаша и Мамаша!}}<br />
Вот уже это 2-рое письмо, которое я вам пишу.<br />
<br />
Я опять совершенно привык с тех пор как Папаша уехал но ещё все когда вспомню об этих неделях как я у вас провёл мне бывает скучно. <br />
<br />
Тётя Лиза которая хотела приезжать ко мне совершенно забыла об нас забыла и ни разу у нас не была; причина я надеюсь та которую вам пишет Коля. <br />
<br />
Надеясь на Декабрь и на Январь я очень, очень много утешаюсь и не замечая, как ско[ро] проходят минуты, часы, дни и недели. Мне кажется все что это не может быть! И душа моя как будто предчувствует что это непременно сбудется. И уже если Бог как будто предсказывает это, то неужели не сбудется!<br />
<br />
Верно вы не захотите мои Ангелы, чтобы все наши надежды не исполнились? Неужели все воздушные замки, которые я строю не исполнятся? Мне странно об этом подумать. И значит что все эти надежды непременно исполнятся.<br />
<br />
Поцелуйте Зину и всех братьев и сестёр. <br />
<br />
Целую ваши ручки и прошу вашего благословления. Ваш Сын,<br />

|Translated text={{centre|Dear [[Papasha]] and [[Mamasha]]!}}<br />
This is already the second letter which I am writing to you. <br />
<br />
I have again got quite used to it since [[Papasha]] left, although whenever I recall those weeks and how I spent them with you, I still feel sad <ref name="note1"/>. <br />
[[Aunt Liza]], who wanted to come to me, has completely forgotten about us and hasn't once been to see us. I hope the reason for this is the one about which [[Kolya]] writes to you <ref name="note2"/>. <br />
<br />
Setting my hopes on December and January, I console myself very, very much, and do not notice how quickly the minutes, hours, days, and weeks pass. I keep thinking that all this cannot happen! And my soul has a kind of presentiment that this will come true without fail. And given that God seems to be presaging this, surely this must now come true!<ref name="note3"/><br />
<br />
You certainly cannot want all our hopes not to be fulfilled, can you, my Angels? Will the castles that I am building in the air really not come true? It is strange for me to think about that. And that means that all these hopes will definitely come true. <br />
<br />
Kiss [[Zina]] and all my brothers and sisters. <br />
<br />
I kiss your hands and ask for your blessing. Your son,<br />

<ref name="note1">In September [[Ilya Tchaikovsky]] had come to [[Saint Petersburg]] from [[Alapayevsk]] in order to visit his sons Pyotr and [[Nikolay]], who were attending boarding-schools in the imperial capital. [[Ilya]] spent about three weeks with his sons before returning to the Urals.</ref><br />
<ref name="note2">In his letter to his parents [[Nikolay]] had written about the death of Mrs Shobert, who was probably the mother-in-law of [[Nikolay]] and Pyotr's maternal aunt [[Yelizaveta Shobert]] (née Assier) — note by Vladimir Zhdanov in {{bib|1940/210|П. И. Чайковский. Письма к родным ; том 1}} (1940), p. 661.</ref><br />
<ref name="note3">During his visit [[Ilya Tchaikovsky]] seems to have explained to his sons that the whole family would be moving from [[Alapayevsk]] to [[Saint Petersburg]] the following spring, and that prior to that he (and possibly their mother too) would visit Pyotr and [[Nikolay]] again around Christmas or in January. [[Ilya]] did not in fact come to [[Saint Petersburg]] in January, but in early/mid May 1852 he did finally make the move to the capital with his family.</ref><br />
