Добрейшая Екатерина Васильевна!

Я трепещу при мысли, что Вы на меня рассердитесь, но когда я приду к Вам на днях и объясню причину моей низости, то Вы простите. Я в этом уверен. Целую Ваши ручки.

Ваш, П. Чайковский

I tremble at the idea that you are angry with me, but when I see you in a few days and explain the reasons for my baseness, you will forgive me. Of this I am certain. I kiss your hands.

Yours, P. Tchaikovsky
