Карлуша!
Ради Бога, пришли мне 10 р[ублей] сер[ебром]. П. Чайковский А также пришли мне немецкий лексикон, он лежал у тебя на органе. На главное, ради Бога, 10 р[ублей] сер[ебром]. Если у тебя нет, то попроси хоть у Мих[аила] Павловича. П. Чайковский |
For God's sake, send me 10 silver rubles. P. Tchaikovsky And also send me the German dictionary you had lying on your organ. But above all, for God's sake, 10 silver rubles. If you don't have it, then at least ask Mikhail Pavlovich [2]. P. Tchaikovsky |
