	I'm very grateful to you for your letter. I've already been at [[Usovo]] for more than three weeks, and am spending the time quietly and pleasantly. Besides me, Prince Vasily Golitsyn is residing here, and we're not bored. I shower myself with water from the well every morning. [[Lyonya]], they've built a splendid bathhouse next to the stables now, and yesterday we had a steam bath in it. I sleep in the same room, and I'm very sad that unlike last year I don't have my dear [[Lenya]], who I'm always thinking about. I'm now composing a new symphony, but working little by little, not sitting for hours at a time, and taking long walks. The weather here is very fine and dry. Nikolay Lvovich has written to me three times. Nothing here has changed — even the dogs are the same, and they all run along with me on my walks. Only the cook is new, and very good. The young ''Kramarevtsev'' ladies visit occasionally; but we often go round to the ''Izvolsky'' neighbours.		I'm very grateful to you for your letter.

{{centre|Милые мои Миша и Лёничка!}}
Очень благодарен Вам за Ваше письмо. Я уже более трёх недель нахожусь теперь в Усове и провожу время тихо и приятно. Кроме меня здесь живёт теперь Князь Василий Голицын, и мы не скучаем. Я обливаюсь каждое утро колодезной водой. Лёня, здесь выстроили теперь отличную баню рядом с конюшнями, и вчера мы в ней парились. Я сплю в той же комнате и очень тоскую, что со мной нет, как в прошлом году, моего милого Лени, об котором я постоянно думаю. Я сочиняю теперь новую симфонию, но занимаюсь понемножку, не сижу по целым часам, а больше гуляю. Погода здесь очень хорошая и сухая. Николай Львович мне писал три раза. Здесь ничего не переменилось, даже собачки все те же самые, и, они все бегают со мной гулять. Только повар теперь новый и очень хороший. У барышень ''Крамаревцевых'' бываем, на не очень часто; но зато часто ездим к соседям ''Извольским''.

Жду от Вас писем; пишите мне к Николаю Дмитриевичу, у которого я буду через полторы недели, а потом к сестре. Адресуйте письма так: ''Киевской губернии, Черкасского уезда, в местечко Смелу, а оттуда в Вербовку. Петру Ильичу Чайковскому''.

Целую тебя, Миша, и тебя, голубчика Леньку. Миша, кланяйся твоей жене Ольге Николаевне, матери и сестре. Я Вам ещё буду писать из Низов и потом из Вербовки.

Любящий Вас,
{{right|П. Чайковский}}
Вам обоим кланяются Владимир Степанович, Князь Голицын, Тит и Павел.
