22 января Милый Володя!
Из предстоящих дней у меня свободен понедельник. Не хочешь ли вместе в 6 часов обедать в «Эрмитаже» или в «Саратове». До тех пор я надеюсь иметь возможность за бежать к тебе. Обнимаю. П. Чайковский Ложу достану. |
22 January Dear Volodya
Over the coming days I have Monday free [1]. I don't know whether you want to have dinner together at 6 o'clock at the "Hermitage" or at the "Saratov" [2]. I hope to have the opportunity to run into you before then. I embrace you. P. Tchaikovsky The box is reserved [3]. |
Notes and References
- ↑ Tchaikovsky appears to be replying to a letter from Vladimir Shilovsky which has not survived.
- ↑ The Hermitage and Saratov were both restaurants in Moscow.
- ↑ Tchaikovsky was probably referring to the second performance of the opera Cherevichki, on 23 January/4 February 1887.
