Ты совершенно прав! Была бы проста безумием покупать при этих условиях.<br />
<br />
Итак, я теперь надолго, вероятно, оставляю всякие помышления а землевладении. Приходится поплатиться за увлечение. Нужно что-нибудь дать ''Соколову'' за его старания и ещё ''Карлуше Альбрехту'', который целую неделю сидел и сделал очень хорошенький проект дома. Я думаю, что ему можно дать 50 р[ублей], а Соколову сколько ты решишь.<br />
<br />
Жду с нетерпением манускрипта «''Чародейки''».<br />
<br />
Спасибо тебе, милый друг, за все твои хлопоты и беспокойства из-за меня.<br />
<br />
Не приедешь ли в субботу?<br />

You're absolutely right! It would have been simply madness to buy under these conditions <ref name="note1"/>.<br />
<br />
Therefore I am now putting aside all thoughts of owning land, probably for a long while. Obsession has its price. It's necessary to give ''Sokolov'' something for his troubles, and still more to ''[[Karl Albrecht|Karlusha Albrecht]]'', who sat for a whole week designing a lovely little house. I think that he can have 50 rubles, and Sokolov whatever you decide.<br />
<br />
I'm impatiently awaiting the manuscript of "''[[The Enchantress]]''" <ref name="note2"/>..<br />
<br />
Thank you, dear friend, for your efforts and troubles on my behalf.<br />
<br />
Are you coming on Saturday?<br />

==Notes and References==<br />
<references><br />
<ref name="note1">[[Jurgenson]] had unsuccessfully attempted to buy a plot of land at [[Maydanovo]] on Tchaikovsky's behalf, so that the composer could build himself a house. Despite the assistance of an estate agent, Sokolov, a deal with the landowner, Nadezhda Novikova, proved impossible.</ref><br />
<ref name="note2">The full score of Tchaikovsky's new opera was urgently required at rehearsals in [[Saint Petersburg]], but the composer had accidentally left it behind in [[Moscow]]. See also [[Letter 3368]] to [[Jurgenson]] of the same date.</ref><br />
