Да будет тебе известно, многоуважаемый Алексей Иванович, что я приеду не ранее воскресенья и всего на 2 дня, т. е. во вторник вечером уеду в Петербург. Завтра еду в Нижний, в субботу буду в Москве по разным делам.

До свиданья! Катерине Яковлевне, Михаилу Ивановичу и Егору Алексеевичу кланяюсь.

Твой, П. Чайковский

27 April

This is to inform you, most respected Aleksey Ivanovich, that I'll be arriving no earlier than Sunday and for only 2 days, i.e. on Tuesday evening I will be leaving for Petersburg. I'm going to Nizhny tomorrow [1], and on Saturday I shall be in Moscow for various matters.

Until we meet! I bow to Katerina Yakovlevna, Mikhail Ivanovich and Yegor Alekseyevich.

Yours, P. Tchaikovsky
