Сергей Иванович! Проиграв финальный хор «''Черевичек''» я усомнился в пригодности его. Он слишком ''финален''; это только ''конец'', предполагающий задолго какое-то ''начало'' и какую-то середину между тем и другим. Сам же по себе, не имеющий ни одной модуляции и никакого развития основной мысли, он едва ли годится. Впрочем, как угодно. На обороте выписываю главный голос и слова. Предполагается, что какой-то народ ожидает какого-то князя.

как в клавираусцуге.

Если Вы всё-таки решите исполнить этот хор, пошлите к Юргенсону за партитурой. Вряд ли поспеют списать голоса!

До свидания, голубчик!

Пошлите также за клавираусцугом.

[[Sergey Ivanovich]]! I have reservations about the suitability of performing the final chorus from "''[[Cherevichki]]''". It is too ''final''; this is merely ''the end'', presupposing that it's a long way from the ''start'', with something-or-other going on between the two. On its own, it has not a single modulation and no development of the main idea, and it's scarcely fitting. However, do as you please. On the reverse I've written out the main parts and words. It's implied that some people or other are expecting some prince or other.

Send off for the piano reduction as well.
