Паничка и Толя! Не сердитесь на меня, но я все ещё здесь. Оказалось, что если я не засяду и не кончу инструментовки ещё одного действия, то опера моя просто не поспеет к сроку. Поэтому я решился уехать только когда кончу ещё одно действие. Сижу целые дни. Но ''клянусь'', что не позже конца месяца выезжаю. Если бы вы знали, как мне скорее хочется быть у Вас! Паничка, нанимай дачу как можно лучше и чтобы ''Пете-миле'' была просторная комната. Целую ручки Пани и щечки Толи.

'''''Klin''''' (Клин) is a town and administrative centre of the Klin district (Клинский район) of Moscow oblast (Московская область) in the Russian Federation.
[[Panichka]] and [[Tolya]]! Don't be angry with me, but I'm still here. It turns out that if I don't sit down and finish the instrumentation of yet another act, then my opera simply won't be ready in time <ref name="note1"/>. I've been stuck here for days. But I ''swear'' that I'll leave before the end of the month. If only you knew how much I wanted to be with you soon! [[Panichka]], rent the best possible dacha, so that ''Petya-mille'' is a spacious room. I kiss [[Panya]]'s hands and [[Tolya]]'s cheeks.

Klin (Клин) is a town and administrative centre of the Klin district (Клинский район) of Moscow oblast (Московская область) in the Russian Federation.

During the composer's lifetime it formed part of the Klin district (Клинский уезд) in the Moscow province (Московская губерния) of the Russian Empire.

Tchaikovsky at Klin

Tchaikovsky rented a spacious two-storey house at Klin from V. S. Sakharov from May 1892 until his death in October 1893, having previously rented accommodation in the nearby villages of Frolovskoye and Maydanovo. After the composer's death, the house was purchased by Modest Tchaikovsky and Aleksey Sofronov, and converted into a commemorative museum.

Concert commitments and other engagements frequently took the composer away from Klin, but he still did a great deal of work while he was in residence:
