	[[Anatosha]]! Your letter came yesterday. Its contents were very sad: [[Nikolay Rubinstein\|Rubinstein]]'s illness, the death of Dubovitskaya, the strangeness of your beloved, and the unfathomability of her contradictory whims — all of this caused me to have unhappy thoughts. [[Nikolay Rubinstein\|Rubinstein]] worries me very much; it seems to me that this is ''le commencement de la fin'', and I'm simply horrified at the thought that he will be no more.		[[Anatosha]]!

	And I've become a worldly person, to the point that I had to buy a tailcoat. On Sunday morning I received an invitation to lunch with the Grand Dukes Sergey and Pavel, with whom our [[Kostya]] is now visiting; he wrote me such a nice letter that it was impossible for me to avoid visiting their villa. I very much liked Sergey and Pavel too; they are sweet, simple, and courteous, although not as poetic as our [[Kostya]]. There's a ceremonial dinner today at Count Bobrinsky's with the ~~grand dukes~~, to which I've also been invited, and once again there's no possibility of refusing, because Bobrinsky himself was with me, and [[Kostya]] asked me to be there. Moreover, I'll be going to soirées with her excellency Baroness Ikskul, and with the Countess Sollogub. You can imagine how pleased I am about all this! I really didn't expect that in [[Rome]] I'd have to endure no fewer invitations than in [[Petersburg]]. I'll have to make my escape, which I'll be doing very soon, namely on Saturday: I'm going to [[Naples]], from there 8 days later to [[Nice]], and then to [[Paris]].

Анатоша! Получил вчера твоё письмо. Оно очень грустного свойства: болезнь Рубинштейна, смерть Дубовицкой, наконец, странности твоей возлюбленной и непостижимость её каприз-ных противуположностей, — всё это навеяло на меня не весёлые мысли, Рубинштейн меня очень беспокоит: мне кажется, что это ''le commencement de la fin'', и я просто в ужас прихожу от мысли, что его не станет.

А я сделался светским человеком, и дошло до того, что мне пришлось купить фрак. В воскресенье утром я получил приглашение завтракать у Великих князей Сергия и Павла, у коих гостит теперь наш Костя, написавший мне столь милое письмо, что оказаться от посещения их виллы не было никакой возможности. Сергий и Павел очень мне тоже понравились; они весьма милы, просты, любезны, хоть не столь поэтичны, как наш Костя. Сегодня парадный обед у Гр[афа] Бобринского с Вел[икими] князьями, куда я тоже приглашён, и опять-таки отказаться нет возможности, ибо Бобринский сам был у меня, а Костя просил непременно быть. Кроме того, мне предстоят вечера у посланницы Бар[онессы] Икскуль и у Графини Соллonуб. Можешь себе представить, как всё это мне приятно!!! Вот уж не ожидал, что в Риме мне придётся страдать от приглашений не меньше, чем в Петербурге. Приходится удирать, что я и сделаю в очень скoром времени, а именно: в субботу еду в Неаполь, оттуда через 8 дней в Ниццу, а потом в Париж. Пиши мне в Ниццу: ''Boulevard de la Buffa 16, M[ada]me Kondratief pour remettre à M. P. T.''.

Всё это путешествие до Парижа я сделаю с Кондратьевым и там с ним расстанусь. Впрочем, и сам за малостью денежных средств долго за границей жить не придётся, и думаю, что святую уже вместе с тобой проведу в Каменке. Если б не обеды, завтраки и вечера во фраке, то я бы очень наслаждался пребыванием в Риме. Погода стоит совсем летняя, так что приходится страдать от жары; цветов на улицах продаётся так много, что в воздухе носится аромат их, да и вообще Рим сделался для меня очень симпатичным местом. Сейчас иду к Кондратьеву пить дневной чай, затем погуляю, а потом, облачившись во фрак, отправлюсь к Бобринским вместе с Кондратьевым.

Целую и обнимаю крепко. Спасибо, голубчик, за Алёшу!
