			I spent 2 weeks in [[Petersburg]]; I was angry, miserable and went nowhere besides my lot and the theatre. The music to "[[Hamlet (incidental music)\|Hamlet]]" turned out to be tolerable.

Нужно ''sol'' {{natural}}, т. е. тут секстаккорд от минорного трезвучия на ''sol''. (Довольно мерзкая вышла гармония!!!)

Я попаду в Москву нескоро. В понедельник еду на один день в Петербург, чтобы присутствовать на бенефисе ''Савиной'', в коем пойдёт новая пиэса Модеста, очень меня интересующая. По возвращении поработаю, а уж после того, через несколько дней (думаю, в конце масленицы), приеду по рассеяться в Москву; исключительно буду только у тебя и страшно буду рад услышать квартет Танеева и повинтить.

Какое свинство в Петербурге сделали с «''Пиковой дамой''». Непостижимое свинство и вместе глупость. Но меня это ужасно расстроило. Но я отомщу, кому следует. Подробно об этом возмутительном деле поговорю при свидании; в письме, по разным причинам, неловко!

Спасибо тебе за все твои благодеяния, т. е. за занавеси, скатерти, столы, но в особенности за корректуры.

Крепко обнимаю тебя, милейший человечек! У Веры целую ручки.
{{right|Твой, П. Чайковский}}
Я провёл в Петербурге 2 недели; злился, хандрил и нигде не был, кроме своих и театра. Музыка к «Гамлету» оказалась сносной.
