Милый Саша! Я согласен, но советую очень подумать, прежде чем решить. Ввиду моего участия в симфон[ическом] концерте, будет ли достаточно интересно для публики моё появление? Боюсь, чтобы ты не ошибся в этом отношении. Но, повторяю, как хочешь — я совершенно согласен.<br />
<br />
Обнимаю тебя.<br />
{{right|П. Чайковский}}<br />
Представь, до сих пор ещё не начал изучать Грига и Направника.<br />

Dear [[Aleksandr Ziloti|Sasha]]! I agree, but advise you to think very hard before deciding <ref name="note1"/>. In view of my participation in the symphony concert, would my appearance be sufficiently interesting for the public? I'm afraid you might be mistaken in this respect. But I repeat, as you wish — I completely agree.<br />
<br />
I hug you.<br />

Just imagine, until now I still haven't begun to study the [[Grieg]] and [[Nápravník]] <ref name="note2"/>.<br />
