	My dear [[Tolichka]]! I received your minor-key letter today. I sympathise with you terribly, and very much understand how you are unsuited to your employment. Since you've been married, I have ceased to bemoan the hard labour you did to become a prosecutor; if you hadn't, then you wouldn't have married [[Panya]], and I consider it God's greatest blessing that you married golubchik [[Panya]]-~~milya~~. Nevertheless, I'm terribly upset that you are so weighed down by your official position, and I would be wholeheartedly glad if you were to desert the department of justice. I don't know to what extent it is possible to implement your plan to enter the railway business through [[Nadezhda von Meck\|N. F. Meck]]. I wrote to her immediately upon receiving your letter, and of course, she will do everything she possibly can. Shouldn't you speak frankly with Derviz? How good it would really be if you didn't leave [[Moscow]]! In the meantime, shouldn't you look into arranging a summer holiday? We are celebrating [[Lyova]]'s birthday today — he's turned 47 years old. The celebration started wonderfully: following a long drought, this morning we had wonderful, warm rain, and everyone was in the most wonderful mood, when suddenly the news came about the completely unexpected death of Tusya Bazilevskaya. Everyone is deeply shocked by this news. However, everything is coming along very well. I've begun to work quite diligently on the suite. At first the work was fairly sluggish — now it's nothing. The lilies of the valley are in full bloom, the nightingales are holding forth: now, thanks to the rain, everything will come back to life, and it will even be good in [[Kamenka]] — but, I must admit, I often think about going to see you and [[Modya]]. By the way: where should I go first? Write something to me about [[Laroche]], golubchik. It's so frustrating that they didn't give "''[[Mazepa]]''"; I was very much counting on the income from it. I'm studying English and making great progress. I kiss and hug you, [[Panya]] and [[Tanya]].		My dear [[Tolichka]]! I received your minor-key letter today.
