Саша, голубушка!

В будущий вторник, 20-го числа Модест с Колей выезжают за границу. Они выбрали своим местопребыванием San-Remo (где ты была у Боткина). Я еду туда в конце этой недели, чтобы приготовить жилище. Адрес: Italie Septentrionale, San-Remo, près Menton, poste restante.

Нежно целую. Третьего дня послал тебе письмо.

П. Чайковский

Я ужасно доволен.
