Модя!

Посылаю тебе следуемый за твою статью гонорарий. Извини, что не пишу подробного письма. Подожди малость, дай собраться с силами и улучить свободную минутку. В Питер я не поеду, — некогда! Целую тебя.

П. Чайковский

Расцелуй от меня Папашу и Лизавету Мих[айловну], а так же Толю. Всех Вас поздравляю с праздником и новым годом.

I'm sending you the enclosed for your article fees. I'm sorry not to write a detailed letter. Give me a little time to muster my strength and seize a free moment. I'm not going to Piter — ever! I kiss you.

P. Tchaikovsky

Kiss Papasha and Lizaveta Mikhaylovna for me, and Tolya too. My felicitations to everyone for the festivities and the New Year.
