Спасибо за письмо. Радуюсь, что тебе в Гранкине хорошо живётся. Мне здесь тоже хорошо, но работа идёт не так скоро теперь, как вначале. Бывают неожиданные помехи: напр[имер], вчера приехал на целый день ''Симон'', чтобы играть свою оперу, которая, впрочем, весьма интересна. По вечерам иногда играю в винт у ''Новиковой'', которая вернулась и которую я был ''очень рад'' видеть. Оказывается, что я люблю Новичиху гораздо более, чем предполагал. Алексей поправляется. Погода превосходная. Одолевают ''письма''. Они тоже отвлекают от работы. Перестал пить ''водку'' и ужасно рад, что решился обходиться без этого ''яду''. Если б ещё приучиться меньше курить!!!


Ivan was the son of Andrey Milyukov (1777–1831) and his wife Aksinya Ivanovna (b. Golosova). On 25 January/6 February 1839 he married [[Olga Milyukova|Olga Yaminskaya]] (1821–1881), and they had ten children: Aleksandr (1840–1885); Yelizaveta (1842–1912); Nikolay (1844–1846); Mikhail (1845–1869); [[Antonina]] (1848–1917), wife of the composer; Olga (b. 1851); Mariya (b. 1854); Aglaida, also known as Adel (b. 1855); Ivan (b. 1857); and Anna (b. 1859).
Обнимаю тебя и Колю.

Tchaikovsky never met his father-in-law, who died six years before his engagement to [[Antonina]].

Thanks for the letter [1]. I'm glad that you're faring well at Grankino. I'm also well here, but work isn't going so quickly now as it was initially [2]. There have been many unanticipated obstacles: for example, yesterday Simon came for the whole day, in order to play through his opera, which, by the way, was most interesting [3]. In the evening I played vint again with Novikova, who's returned and whom I was very glad to see. It turns out that I love Novichikha [4] far more than I'd supposed. Aleksey is putting on weight. The weather is excellent. I'm overwhelmed by letters. They are also distracting me from work. I've stopped drinking vodka and am terribly glad I've decided to forego this poison. If only I could learn to smoke less!!!

I hug you and Kolya.

Yours, P. Tchaikovsky
