6 августа Спасибо, милая M[ada]me Кату! Очень будет интересно узнать при свидании, откуда Вы взяли желаемую сумму? Не думал, не гадал, что буду когда-нибудь Вашим должником! Я приеду гораздо раньше, чем думал, т. е. не позже 20 числа. С величайшим удовольствием остановлюсь у Вас. До свидания! Тысячу благодарностей. П. Чайковский |
6 August Thank you, dear Madame Katu! I should be very interested to know the circumstances in which you acquired the required amount? I could never have imagined that one day I should be in your debt![2] I'll be coming earlier than intended, i.e. no later than the 20th of the month. It will give me the greatest pleasure to stay with you. Until we meet! A thousand thanks. P. Tchaikovsky |
