{{centre|Милые юноши Борис и Саша!}}
На письма Ваши, почти одновременно полученные, отвечаю:

1) что на пересмотр Кризандером моих романсов я согласен с тем, чтобы после гравировки я сам бы сделал одну из корректур;

2) что ''Ларош'', уезжавший к детям и только что возвратившийся, принялся за корректуру и обещает скоро быть готовым.

Желание П[етра] И[вановича], чтобы выпущенная глава была вновь включена, он принял к сведению.

Жалею, Боринька, что ты был болен; и без того невесело лето в Москве проводить!

Я работаю с чрезвычайным усердием и надеюсь к концу месяца быть совершенно готовым. Очень устал, но пребываю благополучен и здоров, чего и Вам, милым юношам, желаю от души.

Модест и Ларош кланяются.

{{centre|Dear young gentlemen [[Boris Jurgenson|Boris]] and [[Aleksandr Jurgenson|Sasha]]!}}
To your letters, which arrived almost simultaneously, I reply <ref name="note1"/>:

1) that after Chrysander <ref name="note2"/> has reviewed my romances, I agree to do one of the proofs myself once they've been engraved;

2) that ''[[Laroche]]'', who's been away with the children and only just returned, has started on the proofs and he promises they will be ready soon <ref name="note3"/>.

He has taken heed of [[Pyotr Ivanovich]]'s wish that the omitted chapter should be included again.

I'm sorry that you were poorly, [[Boris Jurgenson|Borinka]]; as if spending the summer in [[Moscow]] wasn't already bad enough! <ref name="note4"/>

I'm working extremely diligently and hope to be completely finished by the end of the month. I'm very tired, but keeping happy and healthy, and heartily wish the same for you, dear young gentlemen.

[[Modest]] and [[Laroche]] send their regards.
