Adieu mes deux anges.

Je prie votre bénétiction. Votre fils,

|Translated text={{centre|Dear [[Papa]] and [[Mama]]}}
Yesterday I received your letter, my two angels, and I thank you very much for being willing to come here in September.

However, my dear [[Mama]], you promised me that you would be coming as well with everyone else; no doubt, this is too much, but you did say that you would also be coming here. It is too much, I repeat, only do come together, my dear angels. Today, my dear ones, I am leaving for the country with good Madame Markova <ref name="note1"/>.

Goodbye, my two angels.

I ask for your blessing. Your son,
{{right|Pyotr}}
You asked me how you should write to Mr Bérard <ref name="note2"/>: in French.

==Notes and References==
<references>
<ref name="note1">Madame Markova was either the mother or one of the sisters of Mariya Petrovna Vakar (née Markova), the wife of young Pyotr's guardian in [[Saint Petersburg]], Platon Alekseyevich Vakar (1826-1899). Pyotr spent the summer holidays that year on a country estate not far from [[Saint Petersburg]] which belonged to the Markov family.</ref>
<ref name="note2">Joseph Bérard (known in Russia as Iosif Iosifovich Berar; 1800-1883) taught literature and French at the School of Jurisprudence, including in the preparatory class which Pyotr was attending at the time. He was the latter's favourite teacher. See {{bib|2009/16|Пётр Чайковский. Биография ; том. 1}} (2009), p. 46.</ref>
