Милый Толя!

Ради Бога прости! Мне невозможно сегодня с тобой обедать. Умоляю, не сердись и приходи завтра в 12 часов завтракать. Буду ждать с нетерпением. Ещё раз умоляю, не сердись.

Твой, П. Чайковский

12 September

Dear Tolya!

For God's sake forgive me! It's impossible for me to dine with you today. I beg you not to be angry, and to come for lunch with me tomorrow at 12. I'll be looking forward to it. Once again, I beg you not to be angry.

Yours, P. Tchaikovsky
