Incidentally, did [[Batasha]] take her 200 rubles from [[Jurgenson]]? I should be very upset and annoyed if she refused. You can come straight to us in [[Borzhom]] and live in my 2 lovely rooms. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Panya]]-dear&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and [[Tolya]] would be awfully glad, and they ask you to certainly come.

Perhaps if I had stayed, I would have ended up hating [[Borzhom]]. in this sense, perhaps it&amp;#039;s a good thing that I&amp;#039;m leaving! At the very least, I&amp;#039;ll retain a particularly pleasant memory of this delightful corner.

His days are numbered: [[Aachen]] can merely prolong his life for a short while, and there was no possibility of refusing a dying friend. As a result of this, on Monday, the 6th, I am boarding a ship and going to [[Odessa]], and thence to Volochisk, [[Breslau]], [[Dresden]] and [[Aachen]] without stopping anywhere. In every respect it&amp;#039;s a shame for me to leave [[Borzhom]], but who knows, perhaps it&amp;#039;s all for the best.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

And who the hell gave you the idea of going to Zhelznovodsk? You would really be better off in Carlsbad. I should awfully like you to come to [[Borzhom]]. I repeat once more that, in case of lack of funds, you can take some of my money from [[Jurgenson]], and it would be funny if you were shy. Incidentally, did [[Batasha]] take her 200 rubles from [[Jurgenson]]? I should be very upset and annoyed if she refused. You can come straight to us in [[Borzhom]] and live in my 2 lovely rooms. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Panya]]-dear&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and [[Tolya]] would be awfully glad, and they ask you to certainly come. [[Bozhom]] is charming to the utmost degree. You will find hardly any acquaintances in the public; particularly if you aren&amp;#039;t coming for long. Recently I&amp;#039;ve started to be pursued quite frantically by various individuals seeking to make my acquaintance. Perhaps if I had stayed, I would have ended up hating [[Borzhom]]. in this sense, perhaps it&amp;#039;s a good thing that I&amp;#039;m leaving! At the very least, I&amp;#039;ll retain a particularly pleasant memory of this delightful corner. Well, my darlings, I&amp;#039;m not writing anything more, because I still have a mass of letters to write. I&amp;#039;ll see you when I see you! For God&amp;#039;s sake, write to me in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Aachen]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;; I&amp;#039;ll probably be very homesick there. I kiss [[Batasha]]&amp;#039;s hands. I hug [[Tonichka]].&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

{{centre|Милые Тоничка и Баташа!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Когда Вы будете читать это письмо, я буду уже плыть по Чёрному морю. Все мои планы внезапно рушились, и вместо покойного и отдохновительного летнего времяпровождения я должен ехать немедленно за границу. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Кондратьев&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, которого полуживого отвезли в Ахен, где он находится на попечении своего не знающего иностранных [языков] камердинера, телеграфировал мне, что почёл бы за величайшее благодеяние и счастие, если бы я приехал в Ахен. Дни его сочтены, Ахен, может только ненадолго продлить его жизнь, и отказать умирающему другу не было никакой возможности. Вследствие этого, в понедельник, 6-го числа, я сажусь на пароход и еду в Одессу, оттуда в Волочиск, Бреславль, Дрезден, Ахен, нигде не останавливаясь. Во всех отношениях для меня жалко покидать Боржом, — но, кто знает, быть может все к лучшему.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Читая Ваше письмо, любезная беззубка и бородатка, я глубоко сожалел Вас и милую Баташу. И кой черт натолкну Вас на мысль ехать в Железноводск. Уж право лучше бы в Карлсбад. Мне бы ужасно хотелось, чтобы Вы приехали в Боржом. Ещё раз повторяю, что в случае безденежья Вы можете взять у Юргенсона из моих денег, и было бы смешно если бы. Вы стеснялись. Кстати. Взяла ли Баташа свои 200 р[ублей] у Юргенсона? Мне было бы очень обидно и досадно, если бы она ломалась. В Боржоме Вы прямо можете приехать к нам и жить в моих прелестных 2 комнатках. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Паня-миля&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и Толя были бы ужасно рады и просят Вас непременно приехать. Боржом очарователен до последней степени. В публике едва ли найдёте знакомых; а уж особенно если не надолго приедете. Меня в последнее время начинают преследовать довольно неистово разные личности, добивающиеся знакомства. Может быть, если б я остался, кончилось бы тем, что я бы возненавидел Боржом. В этом смысле, быть может, хорошо, что я уезжаю! По крайней мере, сохраню особенно. приятное воспоминание об этом восхитительном уголке. Ну, душечки мои, больше ничего не пишу, ибо надо написать ещё массу писем. Когда-то увидимся! Ради Бога, пишите мне в &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ахен&amp;#039;&amp;#039;; я буду, вероятно, там очень тосковать. Целую Баташины ручки. Тоничку обнимаю.&lt;br /&gt;

Сегодня в Московском фельетоне «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Нов[ого] времени&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» я назван «маститым композитором». Не могу выразить Вам мою злобу и огорчение.&lt;br /&gt;
