Перед самым отъездом получил ещё письмецо Ваше. Какая Вы, душечка, милая, добрая! Радуюсь, что репетиция прошла хорошо Вы пишете, что ещё 12-15 [дней] можно обойтись без меня. Неужели так? Мне бы это нужно знать наверно, ибо тогда я, устроивши в 2 дня все московские дела, мог бы ещё на неделю в Майданово уехать.<br />
<br />
Голубушка, напишите или даже телеграфируйте мне по этому поводу что-нибудь вполне точное. Если телеграмма, то нужно адресовать ''Москва, Магазин Юргенсона'', писать же туда не стоит, ибо не более 2 дней останусь.<br />
<br />
Насчёт Марии Александровны рад бы услужить ей, но в эту минуту ''решительно'' не могу. Подождём говорить об этом до Петербурга. Да и текста нет!<br />
<br />
Целую Ваши ручки!!<br />

{{centre|Dear [[Emiliya Pavlovskaya|Emiliya Karlovna]]!}}<br />
As I was about to leave I received another note from you <ref name="note1"/>. How sweet and kind you are, my dear! I'm glad that the rehearsal went well, and you write that you can manage without me for another 12-15 days. Is that really so? I need to know this for sure, because I'm arranging all my [[Moscow]] business over two days, when I could leave [[Maydanovo]] a week later.<br />
<br />
Golubushka, write or even telegraph me something more precise regarding this. If you telegraph, then it needs to be addressed ''Moscow, [[Jurgenson]]'s store''; it's not worth writing there because I'm not staying more than 2 days <ref name="note2"/>.<br />
<br />
As for [[Mariya Slavina|Mariya Aleksandrovna]], I should be glad to be of service to her <ref name="note3"/>, but at this moment I ''absolutely'' cannot. We'll defer talking about this until [[Petersburg]]. No lyrics indeed!<br />
<br />
I kiss your hands!!<br />
