Милый друг!

Анатолии уезжает 27-ro во вторник, и я приеду его проводить. Нельзя ли в этот день обедать у Вас в Колпашном с Губертами? Мне бы очень этого хотелось.

Обнимаю.

Твой П. Чайковский

Dear friend!

Anatoly is leaving on Tuesday 27th, and I'm coming to spend it with him. Couldn't I dine with you that day at the Kolpashny with the Huberts? I should like this very much.

I embrace you.

Yours P. Tchaikovsky
