В надежде, что ты, может быть, на этой неделе приедешь ко мне с Сапельниковым, я не пишу тебе обстоятельный ответ. Насчёт Кленовского поговорю с тобой. Жаль, что ты так много истратил времени на этого идиота. Адреса его я не знаю, но узнаю. Видел[ся] с ним на похоронах Губерта; он говорил мне, что переезжает в Париж (!!!) и будет там давать русские концерты (!!!) Адрес его я узнаю. Ты в последнем письме не пишешь, получил ли ты на прошлой неделе 100 р[ублей], которые я послал из Клина? Если решишь приехать, дай знать. Целую.<br />

In that hope that, perhaps, you might visit me this week with [[Sapelnikov]], I'm not writing a detailed reply. Regarding Klenovsky's discussion with you <ref name="note1"/>: it's a shame that you've wasted so much time on this idiot. I don't know is address, but will find out. I saw him at [[Hubert]]'s funeral; he told me that he was moving to [[Paris]] (!!!) and will be giving Russian concerts there (!!!) I'll find out his address. In your last letter you didn't write whether you had received the 100 rubles that I sent from [[Klin]] last week? If you decide to come, let me know. I kiss you.<br />
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />

<ref name="note1">The composer was replying to a letter from [[Modest Tchaikovsky]] dated 12/24 October 1888, discussing [[Modest]]'s collaboration with the composer Nikolay Klenovsky (1853-1915) on a libretto for an opera based on [[Pushkin]]'s story ''The Queen of Spades'' (Пиковая дама) — a subject that would be taken up by Tchaikovsky in 1890.</ref><br />
