Голубушка Аня! Милейшее коллективное письмо получил. Спасибо за него и тебе и всем вам. Я бессовестным образом злоупотребляю твоим позволением не писать и в самом деле ничего не напишу. Скоро увидимся! Как я боюсь, что спектакль без меня состоится! Ради [Бога], дотяни, во всяком случае, до моего возвращения. Надеюсь быть в Петербурге 22 или 23-го.<br />
<br />
Целую ручки!<br />

Golubushka [[Anya]]! I've received your most sweet collective letter <ref name="note1"/>. Thank you and all of yours for this. I'm shamelessly abusing your permission not to write, and in fact I'm writing nothing. I'll see you soon! I'm so afraid that the performance will take place without me! For God's sake wait for my return, come what may. I hope to be in [[Petersburg]] on the 22nd or 23rd.<br />
<br />
I kiss your hands!<br />
