| Только что приехал в Майданово. Ребёнка благополучно перевёз в Петербург, и теперь он уже водворён у брата Николая. Вчера крестили его, и я был крестным отцом. Мне очень грустно потерять права ''отца'' на этого милейшего мальчика, но нельзя не радоваться, что он в хороших руках.

| Попрошу тебя выслать по почте на имя ''M[ada]me Bèlard'' (или ещё точнее M[ada]me ''Berte Bèlard'') ''549'' франков, которые я е остался должен. На будущей неделе буду в Москве. Пожалуйста, вели приготовить мой счёт. Есть ли ещё у меня что-нибудь за тобой. Я страшно много издержал денег и если у меня за тобой ничего не окажется, должен буду хоть немножко у тебя взять. Если есть письма, пришли, пожалуйста.

| I've only just arrived in [[Maydanovo]]. The child was safely transported to [[Petersburg]], and he's now already been placed with brother [[Nikolay]]. He was christened yesterday, and I was the godfather. I'm very sorry to lose the ''paternal'' rights to this lovely boy, but I can only be glad that he's in good hands. | | Tchaikovsky travelled to Montreux on 13/25 July and 14/26 July 1873 while visiting nearby [[Vevey]].

| I would ask you to send ''549'' francs by post to ''Madame Bèlard'' (or more precisely, Madame ''Berte Bèlard''), which I still owe to her. I'll be in [[Moscow]] next week. Please, have my accounts prepared. Do I have anything for you? I've spent an awful lot of money, and if I don't have anything to give you, then I'll have to take just a little from you. If there are any letters, please send them.
