{{centre|Многоуважаемый и добрейший<br/>Иван Александрович!}}<br />
В конце августа в Петербурге состоится конкурс на место капельмейстера драматической труппы (русской). В числе кандидатов явится некто г. ''Сук'', которого я очень хорошо знаю. Кроме меня немножко знает его Направник, но последнему не случилось видеть его дирижирующим; я же имел случай видеть оперы (в Харькове), исполненные под его управлением, причём ''я положительно изумлялся его капельмейстерскому таланту''. Говорю это без всякого преувеличения; с тех пор прошло много лет, опытность его увеличилась, и вот теперь представляется случай исполниться его давнишней мечте — попасть в столицу. Говорят, что кроме действительных достоинств нужна и рекомендация. Если это так, то я рекомендую г. ''Сука'' самым настоятельным образом и смело ручаюсь, что Вы будете вполне довольны Вашим Александринским капельмейстером, если место это достанется ''Суку''.<br />
<br />
Добрейший Иван Александрович! Окажите ему Вашу могущественную протекцию. Впрочем, я убеждён, что он и на конкурсе выкажет свои способности с наилучшей стороны.<br />
<br />
Искренно преданный и глубоко уважающий Вас,<br />
{{right|П. Чайковский}}<br />
Р. S. Воображаю, сколько будет каламбуров насчёт детей Сука, если он попадёт в капельмейстеры.<br />

{{centre|Most respected and most kind<br/>[[Ivan Vsevolozhsky|Ivan Aleksandrovich]]!}}<br />
At the end of August in [[Petersburg]] a competition will take place for the position of kapellmeister of the (Russian) dramatic company. One of the candidates will be a certain Mr ''[[Suk]]'' <ref name="note1"/>, whom I know very well. Besides me, he also knows [[Nápravník]] a little, but the latter has not had occasion to see him conduct; I have had the opportunity to see operas (in [[Kharkov]]), performed under his direction, whereby ''I was positively astonished by his talent as a kapellmeister''. I say this without any exaggeration; since then many years have passed, he has grown in experience, and now it seems he has the chance to achieve his long-standing ambition — to succeed in the capital. It is said that besides genuine merit a recommendation is required. If this is so, then I recommend Mr ''[[Suk]]'' most emphatically, and can safely vouch that you will be wholly satisfied with your Aleksandrinsky kapellmeister, if this position falls to ''[[Suk]]'' <ref name="note2"/>.<br />
<br />
Most kind [[Ivan Vsevolozhsky|Ivan Aleksandrovich]]! Render him your most formidable patronage. However, I am confident that at the competition he will demonstrate the best of his abilities.<br />
<br />
Your sincerely devoted and deeply respectful,<br />
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />
P. S. I can imagine how many puns will be made concerning [[Suk]]'s children if he becomes kapellmeister <ref name="note3"/>.<br />
