{{centre|Monsieur le Directeur!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Mon éditeur Parisien &amp;#039;&amp;#039;M[onsieu]r Mackar&amp;#039;&amp;#039; m&amp;#039;écrit:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Il serait très urgent que le Directeur du Théâtre de Prague {{sic|envoyat|envoyait}} ici, à Paris, des invitations à la Presse, au Directeur de l&amp;#039;Opéra Comique, M[onsieu]r Paravey et son secrétaire M[onsieu]r Robert Kempt. Je serais très flatté si on m&amp;#039;en envoyait une aussi. Souvent pour ces choses d&amp;#039;art les Gouvernements accordent des subsides et les chemins de fer des remises, et puis on envoie à Paris, aux personnes utiles, des laissez-passer de Paris à n&amp;#039;importe quelle ville&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Voila, cher et très respecté M[onsieu]r Schoubert ce que m&amp;#039;écrit M[onsieu]r &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mackar&amp;#039;&amp;#039; et ce qu&amp;#039;il me prie de Vous faire savoir. Je ne crois pas que des rédacteurs de journaux parisiens aillent aussi loin pour le plaisir d&amp;#039;entendre &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Onéguine&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; et il est plus que probable que M[onsieu]r Mackar se trompe fort quant aux &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;laisser-passer&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; et aux &amp;quot;permis&amp;quot; de chemins de fer et si je Vous communique cette proposition c&amp;#039;est seulement parceque M[onsieu]r Mackar me fait promettre de Vous transmettre se qui lui semble &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;très urgent&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J&amp;#039;ai reçu une lettre de M[ada]me Olga &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Parš-Likešová&amp;#039;&amp;#039; qui me prie de composer pour elle &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;eine serueuse Einlage&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. Malgré mon désir de complaire à cette artiste, j&amp;#039;ai dû lui faire savoir que pour des raisons &amp;#039;&amp;#039;esthétiques&amp;#039;&amp;#039; je considère &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;eine serueuse Einlage&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; dans le {{sic|role|rôle}} de &amp;#039;&amp;#039;M[ada]me Larine&amp;#039;&amp;#039; comme une chose impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A bientôt! Le 16 matin je serai à Prague.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Veuillez agrèer l&amp;#039;expression de mes meilleurs sentiments.&lt;br /&gt;

{{centre|Mr Director!}}&lt;br /&gt;
My Parisian publisher &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Monsieur [[Mackar]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; writes to me:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;It is most urgent that the Director of the [[Prague]] Theatre sends here, to [[Paris]], invitations to the press, the Director of the Opéra Comique, Monsieur Paravay and his secretary Monsieur Robert Kempt. I would also be most flattered if I were sent an invitation. Governments often grant subsidies and travel expenses for such artistic matters, and then we write off to the relevant persons in [[Paris]] for passes from [[Paris]] to other places&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This, dear and most respected Monsieur [[Šubert]] is what Monsieur &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Mackar]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; writes to me, and what he begs me to inform you. I do not think that the editors of the Parisian newspapers will travel so far for the pleasure of hearing &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Onegin]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; and it is more probable that Monsieur [[Mackar]] is quite wrong about the &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;passes&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; and railway &amp;quot;permits&amp;quot;, and if I communicate this proposition to you it is only because Monsieur [[Mackar]] made me promise to convey to you what seems to him to be &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;most urgent&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have received a letter from Madame Olga &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Parš-Likešová&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, who begs me to compose &amp;#039;&amp;#039;eine serueuse Einlage&amp;#039;&amp;#039; for her. Despite my desire to humour this artist, I must inform her for &amp;#039;&amp;#039;aesthetic&amp;#039;&amp;#039; reasons that I consider &amp;#039;&amp;#039;eine serueuse Einlage&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in the role of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Madame Larina&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to be impossible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See you soon! I shall be in [[Prague]] on the morning of the 16th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please accept the expression of my best regards.&lt;br /&gt;
