20/9/1877 Пётр Иванович! Потрудись, голубчик, написать Осипу Ивановнчу, чтобы он выдал Толе * пятьдесят рублей, а я тебе при сем вношу таковую же сумму. П. Чайковский * брату моему		20/9/1877 ^[1] Pyotr Ivanovich! Golubchik, kindly write to Osip Ivanovich, in order to give Tolya * fifty rubles, and I am providing you herewith with the same amount. P. Tchaikovsky * my brother

↑ Tchaikovsky wrote the date on headed notepaper which had the numerals "187" already pre-printed, which accounts for the departure from his customary dating style. A note by Jurgenson's firm confirms that it was received on the same date.
