| Спасибо, голубчик, за милейшее письмо. Не отвечаю подробно, ибо в конце недели буду в Москве и останусь дней шесть; также надеюсь увидеться с Вами и побеседовать. Остановлюсь в Большой Московской гостинице, как всегда. Не зайдёте ли в пятницу около 4 часов дня?
Обнимаю Вас. П. Чайковский |
Thank you, golubchik, for your most kind letter [1]. I am not replying in detail, because at the end of the week I shall be in Moscow where I am staying for six days; I also hope to see you and talk with you. I am stopping at the Grand Moscow Hotel, as usual. Could you go there on Friday around 4 o'clock?
I embrace you. P. Tchaikovsky |
