==Text and Translation==&lt;br /&gt;

Модя! Как только наступит март, потрудись побывать у Осипа Ивановича &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Юргенсона&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и попроси его получить за 2 месяца мою пенсию. Возьми из неё себе 100 (но если очень нужно, даже и 200), а остальные пришли сюда телеграфически. Это очень просто делается, можешь поручить это &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Наре&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Начал писать 5-ю картину не с начала, а с момента &amp;#039;&amp;#039;стука в окно&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и уже кончил. Ты пишешь в либретто: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;за сценой похоронное пение&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, — а текста не присылаешь. Ведь слова-то нужны! И при этом это должно быть вольным переводом с панихидного текста. Напевав панихиды мне не нужно, но &amp;#039;&amp;#039;сигнал&amp;#039;&amp;#039; нужен; ты пишешь «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;посылаю их&amp;#039;&amp;#039;», а между тем не послал. Слова для пения за сценой мне нужны сегодня, придётся что-нибудь самому сочинить.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Modya]]! As soon as March arrives, kindly visit with [[Osip Jurgenson|Osip Ivanovich &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Jurgenson&amp;#039;&amp;#039;]] and ask him for 2 months of my pension. Take 100 from it for yourself (or even 200 if you are in great need), and send the rest here by telegraph. This is very simple to do, you could entrust this to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Nara&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I began to write the 5th scene, not from the start, but from the point of the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;knock on the window&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and I&amp;#039;ve already finished &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. You write in the libretto: &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;off-stage funeral singing&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; — but you haven&amp;#039;t sent me the text &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. Words are required, after all! For good measure this ought to be freely translated text from a funeral service. I don&amp;#039;t need the tune of the service, just an &amp;#039;&amp;#039;indication&amp;#039;&amp;#039;; you write that you are &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;sending them&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, but in the meantime they haven&amp;#039;t been sent. I need the words for the off-stage singing today, and will attempt to compose something myself.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes and References==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;references&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tchaikovsky was referring to the appearance of the countess&amp;#039;s ghost near the start of the third act of his opera &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Queen of Spades]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The off-stage singing occurs at the end of the opera, following the death of its leading protagonist, Herman.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
