26 июня Коля в своём необыкновенно милом письме ко мне жалуется, что ты с ним неоткровенен. Ему грустно, «что ты охотнее делишься своими мечтами и впечатлениями с M[ademois]elle Диной или Назаром, чем с ним». Тон, которым это пишется, такой тёплый, милый, что я был очень тронут. Я предупредил его в своём ответе, что насплетничаю тебе. Изволь объясняться и оправдываться. Не сокрушайся, что не поехал в Байрейт. Мой америк[анский] друг William von Sachs пишет мне оттуда, что ни одного места на «Парсифаля» найти нет никакой возможности. Обнимаю. П. Чайковский |

My American friend William von Sachs writes to me from there that it's impossible to find a single seat for Parsifal [5]. I hug you. P. Tchaikovsky |
