Модя! Писать письма решительно не нахожу времени. Буду посылать только краткие известия.<br />
<br />
Успех в Кёльне был очень большой. Музыканты после сюиты при вызове сыграли 3-екратный туш. Сегодня была первая репетиция франкфуртского концерта. Скучаю и томлюсь ''ужасно''. Главное бедствие, что никогда нельзя быть одному, и вечная усталость, доходящая до отупения. Завтра репетиция и концерт. Послезавтра в Дрезден. Посылаю статью, вышедшую в день концерта в Кёльне в «''Kölnische Zeitung''». Покажи её Цету и кланяйся ему. Всех обнимаю и целую.<br />

[[Modya]]! I absolutely can't find the time to write letters. I'll just be sending you brief news.<br />
<br />
[[Cologne]] was a huge success. After the suite the musicians were called upon to give me a triple flourish <ref name="note1"/>. Today was the first rehearsal for the [[Frankfurt]] concert. I'm homesick and pining ''terribly''. The foremost calamity is that one can never be alone, compounded by perpetual fatigue to the point of numbness. Tomorrow there's a rehearsal and concert. The day after it's [[Dresden]]. I'm sending you an article which came out on the day of the [[Cologne]] concert in the "''Kölnische Zeitung''". Show it to Zet <ref name="note2"/> and give him my regards. Hugs and kisses to everyone.<br />
