	Today isn't your day, [[Tolichka]], but since I've just received your letter, in which you tell me to quickly clarify your misunderstanding about the dacha, then I'm hastening to answer. [[Nadezhda Filaretovna]] has invited me to stay at her place in [[Pleshcheyevo]] for part of April and the whole of May, prior to her arrival. I shall certainly take advantage of this, because [[Pleshcheyevo]] is an astonishing place, and it will be nice for me to rest there after the commotion of [[Paris]] and work, but I'll be living there for no more than 2 weeks. She has then offered to rent a house for me not far from her. At first I was tempted by this plan, but now I want to reject it at all costs, because I'm afraid that due to its proximity, her sons will start frequently visiting me, as well as Mr [[Władysław Pachulski\|Pachulski]], who lives with her, and this will be awkward for me. Thus, at the moment I don't know ~~for~~ how I'll be spending the coming summer months, and I'll decide later — but in any case, I'll stay with you one way or another, and provided I have the money, then I'll rent a cottage near you, as I wanted. As a consequence of all the above, I ask you, without being embarrassed by the thought of me, to look wherever you want for the sort of dacha you want — so much the better if it's not near Podolsk, but as you know, I just advise and urge you to choose the best place to enjoy yourself. There's nothing in particular going on with us. [[Tanya]] is sometimes better, sometimes worse — but the morphine is still being reduced, albeit very gradually. Now I only have one thought — to quickly finish the opera, which is the utmost burden to me. The main thing is that I want to stop thinking about it, because its fate worries and concerns me all the time I'm writing it, and once I've delivered it to [[Jurgenson]], I shall be at peace. I don't know how to thank you for your troubles about [[Alyosha]] — but I have a dilemma: if he's completely well (as he writes), then I don't want him to have a year's leave, because after the joy of having him back we'll be parting ways again. Either let him go for the 2 summer months, or dismiss him completely! If he's released for the 2 months, then what consolation is there for me? I can't leave [[Paris]] now under any circumstances, and I won't make it to [[Moscow]] before April. Kiss [[Panina]]'s hand; I hug you and your daughter.

	Сегодня не твой день, Толичка, но так как я сейчас получил твоё письмо, в коем велишь поскорей разъяснить твоё недоразумение насчет дачи, — то тороплюсь ответить. Над[ежда] Фил[аретовна] предлагает мне часть апреля и весь май до её приезда погостить у неё в Плещееве. Этим я непременно воспользуюсь, ибо Плещеево удивительное место и мне приятно там будет отдохнуть от парижской суеты и работы, но проживу я там не более 2 недель. Затем она предлагала мне нанять домик недалеко от неё. В первое время меня соблазнял этот план, — но теперь я хочу во что бы то ни стало отклонить его, ибо боюсь, что вследствие близости сыновья её часто начнут посещать меня, а также живущий у ней г. Пахульский, — а это меня будет стеснять. Итак, как проведу я дальнейшие летние месяцы, этого я покамест не знаю и решу впоследствии, — но во всяком случае погощу у вас так или ~~Иначе~~, а если деньги будут, то найму, как хотел, избёнку около Вас. Вследствие всего вышеизложенного прошу тебя, не стесняясь мыслью обо мне, искать где хочешь и какую хочешь дачу, и даже лучше, если не рядом с Подольском, а впрочем как знаешь, лишь только умоляю и советую выбирать местность получше и потешем. У нас ничего особенного Тане то лучше, то хуже, — но морфин хотя весьма постепенно, а все уменьшается. Я теперь об одном думаю, одного желаю — это поскорей кончить оперу, которая тяготит меня в высшей степени. Главное хочется перестать думать о ней, ибо судьба её, пока я пишу, все время заботит и тревожит меня, а раз сдавши её Юргенсону, — я буду покойнее. Не знаю как и благодарить тебя за хлопоты об Алёше, — но знаешь ли: если он совсем здоров (как он пишет), то я не желаю годового отпуска, ибо что за радость получить его и потом снова расстаться. Или совсем увольнение, или пусть уж на летние 2 месяца его отпустят! Если же его отпустят на 2 м[еся]ца, то какое мне утешение? Я не могу уехать теперь из Парижа ни в каком случае и ранее апреля не попаду в Москву. Целуй Панину ручку; тебя с дочкой обнимаю.
