| Карлуша! Прости, — ей Богу голова так болит, что не могу быть. Если устроится ужин и захотят меня в компанию, — то пусть зайдут за мной ко мне. С 10 часов буду дома в 17-м № Большой Моск[овской] гост[иницы].
П. Чайковский |
Karlusha! Forgive me, my God, my head hurts so badly that I can't be with you. If supper is being arranged and I'm wanted in company, then let them come over to me. From 10 o'clock I'll be home at No. 17 in the Grand Moscow Hotel.
P. Tchaikovsky |
