Dear Maestro and friend!
How touched I was by the several affectionate lines you were kind enough to write to me upon the occasion of the soirée of the 23rd of February! I thank you with all my heart and say to you 'until we meet again' as I am indeed counting on coming to Paris very soon. It will be a real pleasure for me to see you again and to press your hand. Your very devoted friend. P. Tchaikovsky |
