20 апр[еля] Я думаю, что достаточно для подарка Карлуше 50 р[ублей] с[еребром]. Но если ты найдёшь не лишним увеличить мой взнос, то поступи как знаешь. Я ужасно сочувствую мысли поднесения. П. Чайковский |
20 April I think that 50 silver rubles would be an appropriate gift for Karlusha [1]. But if you don't find it excessive to increase my contribution, then use your discretion. I'm awfully keen on the idea of a presentation. P. Tchaikovsky |
