Анатоша! Ввиду скорого свидания я, кажется, запоздал с письмом к тебе. Всё идёт у меня хорошо, работа сильно подвинулась, здоровье в отличном состоянии. Мне кажется, что я впоследствии не без удовольствия буду вспоминать этот месяц, проведённый здесь. Странно только, что мне было привольнее и лучше, когда я был совсем один. С тех пор как Лева здесь — я как-то стеснён и вся меланхолическая прелесть пребывания в большом, пустом доме исчезла. Бедный Лева, мне так совестно в тайне души перед ним, он так обо мне заботится, так дорожит моим пребыванием здесь! В большом доме, где я иногда скучал, но где для души было так отрадно быть в общении с Лиз[аветой] Вас[ильевной], Ал[ександрой] Вас[ильевной] и Ал[ександрой] Ив[ановной] — теперь стало скверно, ибо приехал Пётр Вас[ильевич] с своей противной женой. Итак, я нисколько не сокрушаюсь, что скоро поеду в Киев. Выезжаю отсюда 31-го числа; говорят, что ты с Малей тоже, к этому дню приедешь. После свадьбы, я думаю, умнее всего будет поехать прямо за границу, хотя ив Москве побывать мне хочется. Но я боюсь протранжирить в Москве, как водится, слишком много денег; притом же там теперь Ант[он] Руб[инштейн], а мне куда как не хочется с ним встречаться. Не лучше ли, если я ''великий пост'' проведу в Москве? Мысль эта очень мне улыбается. Впрочем, увидим. Я беспокоюсь об Алёше, не имея от него так давно никаких известий? Думаю что он в деревне.


Я до того страшно устал от Бортнянского, до того он мне опротивел, до того надоел, — что чувствую себя совершенно не способным продолжать исключительно им заниматься (не говори этого П[етру] И[вановичу]. Он сердится, что я жалуюсь на трудность работы). Переложения я почти кончил; сделал также несколько корректур, — но после 1-го числа в течение месяцев двух хочу вовсе отклонить от себя этот труд. Не предваряй Петра Ив[ановича], я сам ему напишу.
A student of the Polish pianist Teodor Leszetycki (1830–1915), Yuliya married the dramatist [[Ippolit Shpazhinsky]] (1848–1917). Tchaikovsky became friendly with her while collaborating with her husband on the libretto for the opera ''[[The Enchantress]]'' in 1885. Tchaikovsky attempted to encourage Yuliya's own literary ambitions, and their correspondence lasted several years until the composer's death.


Мы с тобой будем жить в Киеве в ''Grand Hôtel''. Если я приеду раньше, — то приготовлю тебе помещение. Прощай, голубчик, крепко тебя целую. До свиданья!
