	I should prefer, dearest [[Sergey Ivanovich]], that you should come to me around 7.30 pm. For various reasons this would be more to my liking. However, if you would prefer to have dinner, then please feel free to do so, but take into consideration that I am in the habit of walking after lunch, moreover in order to "''create''", and I like to walk alone, so I won't have enough time with you. In the evening I should have finished work before your arrival, and should be wholly at your service. If it is possible, then let it be thus. Only you need to have had a hearty lunch, because I have supper at 8.30.		I should prefer, dearest [[Sergey Ivanovich]], that you should come to me around 7.30 pm.

Я предпочёл бы, милейший Сергей Иванович, чтобы Вы приехали ко мне около 7½ часов вечера. По разным соображениям это мне более по душе; но, впрочем, не стесняйтесь, и если Вам лучше обедать, то пожалуйте обедать, но примите в соображение, что я имею привычку сейчас после обеда гулять, причём «''творю''» и люблю гулять один, и таким образом я недостаточно буду иметь Вас у себя. Вечером же я бы к Вашему приезду окончил работу и был бы весь к Вашим услугам. Если можно, пусть будет так. Только Вам нужно хорошенько позавтракать, ибо у меня ужин в 8½.
{{right|Ваш П. Чайковский}}
Простите за бесцеремонность и нежелание изменять привычки даже для Вас.
