Je crains que Vous ne m'en vouliez un peu de ce que je ne suis pas venu à {{sic|Petersbourg|Pétersbourg}} pour jouir de l'audition de ma ''Suite'' sous Votre magnifique direction. Il est vrai que mon frère m'avait transmis Votre invitation mais pour des raisons qu'il serait trop long à compter — il m'était tout à fait impossible de venir. Mais j'espère que Vous ne pouvez pas douter de ma reconnaissance pour tout ce que Vous avez fait pour moi et que rien ne me serait aussi pénible que de mériter Votre mécontentement {{...}} c'est moi qui suis en pure perte car on me dit de tous côtés que la Suite a été exécutée encore mieux (si cela est possible) cette fois que l'année précédente {{...}} Ce, qui est tout à fait sur, c'est que dans tous les cas je viendrai à {{sic|Petersbourg|Pétersbourg}} pour Vous {{...}} serrer la main, quand Vous reviendrez pour la deuxième série de concerts {{...}}

|Translated text={{centre|Dear maestro and friend!}}
I fear lest you should be a little angry with me for not having come to [[Petersburg]] to enjoy listening to my ''Suite'' under your magnificent direction <ref name="note3"/>. It is true that my [[Modest Tchaikovsky|brother]] had relayed to me your invitation, but for reasons which it would take too long to spell out, it was quite impossible for me to come. However, I hope that you cannot doubt my gratitude for everything that you have done for me, and that nothing would be more painful for me than to deserve your displeasure {{...}} it is I who lose by this completely, because I have been told by everyone that the Suite was this time performed even better (if that is possible) than last year {{...}} What is completely certain
is that I shall come to [[Petersburg]] in any case in order to {{...}} shake your hand when you
come back again for the second series of concerts {{...}}
