The description in the L'Autographe catalogue is as follows: "Tchaikovsky writes from Klin where, now that he is famous and financially secure, he has recently fixed his residence with the hope of finding some peace of mind there. 'Dear friend! This little letter will be handed to you by a nice compatriot of mine [...] a very good pianist, whom I recommend to your benevolent protection. The composer, who had stayed in Paris for a few days at the start of the year, hopes that his correspondent [...] will be so kind as to extend his support to the young artiste, Madame Shtos-Petrova, and thanks him in advance" (translated by Luis Sundkvist).
