Klin, neben Moskau 28 Febr[uar 18]93 Hochgeehrter Herr Kajanus!
Ihre Depesche konnte ich nicht beantworten, da Sie mir keine Adresse gegeben haben. Ich hoffe, dass mein Bruder nicht vergessen hat, Ihnen mitzuteilen, dass ich weder den 20/8 noch den 22/10 März Helsingfors kommen kann. Freilich könnte ich, aber später, nach der Osterwoche kommen, aber ist das nicht zu spät? Bitte um zwei Zeilen Antwort. Ihr ergebenster, P. Tschaikowsky |
Highly respected Herr Kajanus!
I was unable to reply to your telegram [1] because you did not tell me your address. I hope that my brother has not forgotten to tell you that I cannot come to Helsingfors either on 20/8 or 22/10 March. I could certainly come later, after the Easter weekend, but would that not be too late?[2] Please send me a couple of lines in reply. Your most devoted, P. Tchaikovsky |
Notes and References
- ↑ Kajanus's telegram has not survived, but in an earlier letter of 17 February/1 March 1893 he had suggested 8/20 or 10/22 March 1893 as possible dates for Tchaikovsky to conduct a concert in Helsingfors.
- ↑ Tchaikovsky's intended visit to Helsingfors was postponed until 1894, by which time he was dead.
