28 Avril Cher ami!
Jе viens d'expédier la lettre au Ministre. Malheureusement, je crois qu'on exagère l'influence qu'un mot de moi peut avoir sur ce potentat.

28 April Dear friend!
I have just sent the letter to the Minister [1]. Unfortunately, I think you over-estimate the influence that a word from me can have on this potentate. He was merely polite to me; not a shadow of sympathy or of any particular consideration. We shall see eventually! To hell with Maykov [2] and all his cronies, with Kashperov [3] at the head! Affectionately yours, P. Tchaikovsky |
