Посылаю тебе:

1) 3-ю корректуру финала.

2) 4-х ручное переложение 1-ой и 2-ой части. В этой 2-ой части недостаёт последней странички примы, которая составляет оборотную сторону 3-ей части, оставшейся пока ещё у Балакирева, так же как и переложение финала.

3) Подлинную рукопись первой части и 2-ой половины финала. У Балакирева осталась рукопись 2-ой части и 3-ей. Можно печатать финал, а впрочем, если для верности хочешь дать ещё на просмотр Эрдмансдёрферу, то я ничуть не прочь.

Приехал сегодня утром и по крайней мере полторы недели не тронусь с места.

Твой, П. Чайковский

13 February

I'm sending you:

1) 3rd proofs of the finale [1].

2) the 4-hand arrangement of the 1st and 2nd movements. The 2nd movement is missing the last primo page, on the reverse side of which is the 3rd movement, which is still with Balakirev, as is the arrangement of the finale.

3) the original manuscript of the 1st movement and 2nd half of the finale. Balakirev still has the manuscript of the 2nd and 3rd movements. The finale can be printed, although if out of respect for Erdmannsdörfer you want to let him review it again, then so be it.

I arrived this morning and I'm not budging from this spot for at least a week-and-a-half.

Yours, P. Tchaikovsky
