| Аня! Я приехал, но никуда не выхожу вследствие особенной усталости. Обедаю дома (я остановился у Модеста), вечером еду в Александринску. Разумеется, будем рады ужасно, если ты приедешь обедать; если же обедать неудобно, то не приедешь ли прямо в театр? Ложа 1-го яруса, с правой стороны, № 1-ый.

| Целую ручки.

| Петру Ивановичу и Любовь Петровне шлю приветствия.

| [[Anna Merkling|Anya]]! I've arrived, but am not going anywhere because I'm particularly tired. I'm dining at home (I've stopped off at [[Modest]]'s), and this evening I'm going to the Aleksandrinsky <ref name="note1"/>. Of course we should be terribly glad if you were to come to dinner; if dinner is inconvenient, then would you not come straight to the theatre? The box is in the first tier, No. 1 on the right hand side.
| |
| | |
| I kiss your hands.
| |
| | |
| I send greetings to Pyotr Ivanovich and Lyubov Petrovna.
