Как тебе не стыдно, Толя! Хоть бы одно словечко написал! Хорош друг! Ведь мне не нужно больших, подробных писем, — ну хоть такое, как моё это, написал бы. А мне так интересно знать, что ты поделываешь, как твои дела, как здоровье, как и чем кончил ''Кротков'', вообще в десяти строчках ты бы мог сообщить мне множество интересного.

Я провёл три очень приятных недели в Тифлисе; послезавтра еду в Москву и, вероятно, Петербург, а потом в деревню. Адрес мой тот же, т. е. Моск[овская] губ[ернии] гор[од] Клин, только вместо с[еле] Майданово селе ''Фроловское''. Обнимаю тебя, бессовестный виолончелистишка!

Aren't you ashamed, [[Anatoly Brandukov|Tolya]]! If only you'd written one little word! A fine friend you are! You know I don't need long, detailed letters—well, at least the sort that I'd write like this. And I'm so interested to know what you've been up to, what your plans are, how your health is, whether you've finished with ''Krotkov'' <ref name="note1"/>, or generally in ten short lines you could tell me many interesting things.

I've spent three very pleasant weeks in [[Tiflis]]; the day after tomorrow I'm off to [[Moscow]], and probably [[Petersburg]], and then to the country. Address me there as usual, i.e. [[Moscow]] province, town of [[Klin]], only ''[[Frolovskoye]]'' village instead of [[Maydanovo]]. I hug you, you inconsiderate young cellist!
