	Yesterday I wanted to send you 300 silver rubles, taken out of [[Nikolay Tchaikovsky\|Kolya]]'s debt, but [[Tanya]] asked me for a loan of 75 rubles to give to Sasha Bazilevskaya. Of course, I couldn't not give it, but as a result I had to take a hundred from you. I hope that this sum, as well as the 100 that [[Sasha]] is sending you for your expenses for [[Tanya]] (besides the debt that [[Lyova]] is sending from [[Kiev]]), will amount to a small sum that can somewhat improve your budget. If this is too little, then, please, write frankly, and I'll try to send more. I decided to deceive [[Jurgenson]] and not to give him the full amount, so as not to remain tied up in penury until October.

	Before [[Tatyana Davydova\|Tasha]]'s arrival, [[Sasha]] had begun to recover seriously, but now she's taken several steps back again. [[Tanya]] travelled badly, drinking wine all the time, sniffing ether and chloroform, stopping off in [[Kiev]] to send for a doctor, and turning up here completely steeped in these poisons. She had barely arrived before telling [[Sasha]], sobbing, about everything that happened in [[Moscow]]. This was enough for [[Sasha]] to become hysterical, and for her to emerge from her room the next day, looking a greenish shade of yellow, and gaunt. [[Tanya]] invariably sends hundreds of reassuring telegrams such as ''completely well, incredibly cheerful'', and then, upon arriving, immediately dealing a heavy blow by telling the truth. In my opinion, [[Tanya]]'s situation is not in itself physically serious, but she has received a blow to her morale, which only time and oblivion will heal. But I'm afraid for ''[[Sasha]]''. Last evening [[Tanya]] sat with me and, with hysterical sobbing and in a terribly nervous state, told me about the story of Trubetskoy. It cost me enormous effort to calm her down. Anyway, we managed to see to it that [[Sasha]] knew nothing about this, and spent a good night. Today both are in a bearable condition. Oh, [[Tolichka]]! How sometimes I want to run somewhere far away from here. But just now they need me, and I'm staying.

	Саша перед приездом Тани начала было серьёзно поправляться, — но теперь опять сделала несколько шагов назад. Таня совершила путешествие скверно, все время пила вино, нюхала эфир и хлороформ, в Киеве остановилась и посылала за доктором и сюда явилась вся пропитанная этими ядами. Едва приехала, как рассказала Саше с рыданиями о всем, что вы терпела в Москве. Этого было достаточно, чтобы с Сашей сделалась истерика и чтобы на другой день она опять явилась из своей комнаты бледно-зелёной, жёлтой и худой. У Тани преложная система посылать сотни успокоительных телеграмм вроде: ''совершенно здорова, удивительно бодра'', а потом, приехавши, сразу нанести тяжёлый удар, рассказав правду. По-моему, положение Тани не заключает в себе ничего физически серьёзного, — но она получила моральное потрясенье, от которого только время и забвение её вылечат. Но я боюсь за ''Сашу''. Вчера вечером Таня сидела у меня и с истерическими рыданиями и в страшном состоянии нервов рассказывала мне про историю Трубецкого. Мне стоило огромных усилий её успокоить. Однако ж нам удалось сделать так, что Саша обо всем этом не знала и ночь провела хорошо. Сегодня обе в сносном состоянии. Ах, Толичка! как иногда мне хочется убежать куда-нибудь далеко отсюда!
