Голубушка Лили! Посылаю Вам карточку, по которой Вы получите 2 кресла в магазине Юргенсона. Простите, что беспокою, — но мне необходимо было раздачу билетов поручить Юргенсону.<br />
<br />
У Николая Ильича, где я, кажется, обещался завтракать, быть не могу. Целую ручки.<br />
{{right|Ваш П. Ч}}<br />
<br />
Простите ради Бога, что такие дальние кресла посылаю.<br />

Golubushka [[Yelizaveta Tchaikovskaya|Lili]]! I'm sending you a card, for which you will receive 2 seats at [[Osip Jurgenson|Jurgenson]]'s store. I'm sorry that this is troublesome — but it was necessary for me to entrust the allocation of tickets to [[Osip Jurgenson|Jurgenson]].<br />
<br />
I cannot be at [[Nikolay Tchaikovsky|Nikolay Ilyich]]'s, where, apparently, I promised to have lunch. I kiss your hands.<br />
{{right|Yours P. T.}}<br />
For God's sake forgive me for sending you seats so far away <ref name="note1"/>.<br />
