Милый Лёня!

Не выезжай из Москвы прежде, чем я тебе не напишу. Очень может быть, что мы поедем с тобой сначала в Каменку, а уж потом за границу. Этот вопрос решится дня через два, и тогда я тебе буду телеграфировать. А пока целую тебя. Во всяком случае скоро увидимся.

Твой, П. Чайковский

О пачпорте ты всё-таки похлопочи. Ты должен уехать из Москвы с заграничным пачпортом.

Никому об этом покамест не говори.

Dear Lyonya!

Don't leave Moscow until I write to you. It may very well be that first we'll go together to Kamenka, and then abroad. This matter will be decided in two or three days, and then I'll send you a telegram. Until then I kiss you. In any case I'll see you soon.

Yours, P. Tchaikovsky

Are you still doing everything you can about the passport? You must have your foreign passport with you when you leave Moscow.

Tell no-one about this for now.
