Москва 15 сент[ября 18]89 Милый друг!
Поверьте, что я не менее Вас сожалел, что нам не удалось повидаться в Киеве, но я был там столь короткое время, что не имел времени разыскать Вас. В течение зимы, наверное, буду в Киеве и радуюсь, что увижу Вас. До свиданья, милый друг! Кланяйтесь жене Вашей. П. Чайковский |
Moscow 15 September 1889 Dear friend!
Believe me, I was no less sorry that we didn't manage to see each other in Kiev, but my time there was so short that I had no time to seek you out. During the winter I shall probably be in Kiev, and will be very happy to see you [1]. Until we meet, dear friend! My regards to your wife. P. Tchaikovsky |
