	[[Panichka]]! This is already my second day in [[Taganrog]]. The journey went very well, and at times was very pleasant. We arrived in [[Vladikavkaz]] at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. There was a splendid dinner, and in the evening I was at the ''theatre''!!! They were giving the operetta "''The Song Birds''". I sat through one act, enjoying watching the [[Vladikavkaz]] ''Kokodesses'', who were making eyes at the singers, who were remarkably unattractive. The railway carriage was cramped and unpleasant, because we were travelling with a group of German tourists and ladies. Firstly, they were shouting loudly all the time and not letting me sleep; secondly, they were smoking stinking cigars, and thirdly, they were attempting to talk to me in German and then in French. In [[Rostov]] we boarded a train and arrived here at 12 o'clock.		[[Panichka]]! This is already my second day in [[Taganrog]]. The journey went very well, and at times was very pleasant.

Паничка! Второй уже день нахожусь в Таганроге. Путешествие было очень благополучно и по временам очень приятно. Во Владикавказ приехали в 3 часа дня. Отлично обедали, а вечером я был в ''театре''!!! Давали оперетку «''Птички певчие''». Просидел одно действие, наслаждаясь созерцанием владикавказских ''Кокодесов'', посылавших глазки и безешки певицам, весьма мало привлекательным. В вагоне было тесно и неприятно, ибо вместе с нами ехало общество туристов-немцев с дамами. Они, во 1-х, псе время громко орали и не давали спать, во 2-х, курили вонючие сигары и, в 3-х, пытались со мной заговаривать то по-немецки, то по-французски. В Ростове пересели в поезд и приехали в 12 часов дня сюда.

Ипполит здоров, Соня тоже. В первый раз после 12 лет увидел дочь их Тасю, которая живёт теперь дома. При ней гувернантка швейцарка, весьма симпатичная старая дева. Кормили нас весь день на убой и страшно вкусно. Я не мог отказать Ипполиту, просившему остаться у них лишний денёк. Поэтому выезжаем только завтра. Сегодня Ипполит показывал мне и Коле таганрогские достопримечательности.

Как-то ты, бедная, живёшь, не видя свою радость, свое божество, своего несравненного, своего обожаемого, седого, старого, милого, чудного,
{{right|Петю-милю???}}

Кокодесу поклон. А Татке посылаю тысячу поцелуев.

Дорогой во всех газетах читал про то, что П. И. Чайковский очень болен.
