They assured me that there would be no opera in [[Tiflis]] next season, and I almost wept with grief when I heard about this. Now I see that not only will there be opera, but that I shall be present for the production of &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Azrra&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. This made me incredibly glad, because this circumstance doubles the interest and enjoyment of my stay in [[Tiflis]]. Only it is in October, for God&amp;#039;s sake!&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

The rumour about &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Altani]]&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039; resignation is false, and was started, so he writes, by [[Altani]]&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;&amp;#039;enemies&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. I do not know who these enemies are: however, I suspect that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Korsov]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is behind it. You may be sad to learn this information, but I am glad for you now that the circumstances have been clarified. I was worried that you may be disappointed by that letter, because I believed the rumour, and thought that if the matter was decided, then why predict difficulties for you? Now I&amp;#039;ll say frankly that, despite all the good aspect of being a kapellmeister in the capital, I thought with sorrow about the awful conditions you would have to put up with! You cannot even imagine how much suffering and grief you would have had to endure. A much more suitable position for you would be a professorship in [[Moscow]], which [[Taneyev]] dreams of. But [[Safonov]], apparently, has made no offer whatsoever? Write to me yes or no. But we shall talk a great deal about all this in [[Tiflis]]. It is difficult to express how much my soul longs for [[Tiflis]]! Even I find it strange why I am so exceptionally fond I am of this city.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

There is much in it of which I very much approve, especially now that I have become more familiar with the opera, having played it through twice. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Initially, you need a great deal and at the same time very little &amp;#039;&amp;#039;promotion&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. The question is where to obtain it. Printed piano reductions are not essential. I embrace you. I kiss &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Varvara Zarudnaya|Lomachka]]&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039; hand.

{{centre|Милый Миша!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Письмо твоё меня ужасно обрадовало. Меня уверяли, что в Тифлисе оперы в будущем сезоне не будет, и я чуть не плакал от огорчения по этому поводу. Теперь вижу, что не только опера будет, но что я буду присутствовать на постановке «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Азры&amp;#039;&amp;#039;». Это меня невероятно обрадовало, ибо обстоятельство это удваивает интерес и удовольствие моего пребывания в Тифлисе. Только, ради Бога, в октябре!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
От &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Пчельников&amp;#039;&amp;#039; а ответ, наконец, получил. Слух об отставке &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Альтани&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ложный и пущен, как он пишет, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;врагами&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Альтани. Кто эти враги, не знаю, — но, впрочем, подозреваю, что &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Корсов&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Тебе будет, может быть, печально узнать это сообщение, а я теперь, когда обстоятельства разъяснились, за тебя рад. В том письме я боялся разочаровать себя, ибо доверял слуху и думал, что если дело решённое, то зачем предсказывать тебе неприятности? Теперь же скажу прямо, что, несмотря на все хорошие стороны капельмейстерства в столице, я с грустью думал, при каких ужасных условиях тебе придётся действовать! Сколько бы тебе пришлось страдать и выносить огорчений — ты и представить себе не можешь. Гораздо более подходящее для тебя положение было бы профессорство в Москве, о чем мечтал Танеев. Но Сафонов, по-видимому, не делал никаких предложений? Напиши мне, да или нет. Но обо всем этом мы будем помногу беседовать в Тифлисе. Трудно выразить, до чего я душой стремлюсь в Тифлис! Даже мне самому странно, на чем основана моя какая-то исключительная любовь к сему городу.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Относительно «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Сна на Волге&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» я не совсем с тобой согласен. Многое в нем мне очень нравится, особенно стало нравиться теперь, когда я ближе познакомился с оперой, проигравши её два раза.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Заехать к вам в деревню едва ли придётся, ибо я мечтаю ехать через Волгу и Баку. Впрочем, увидим. О том, что нужно для постановки «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Азры&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» в Петербурге, тоже переговорим устно. Нужно очень многое и вместе очень малое: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;протекция&amp;#039;&amp;#039; при первом шаге. Вопрос в том, откуда её достать. Печатные клавираусцуги не необходимы. Обнимаю тебя. У &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ломачки&amp;#039;&amp;#039; целую ручку. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Анне Михайловне&amp;#039;&amp;#039; поклон.&lt;br /&gt;
