{{centre|Милостивый государь!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Извините, что, не имея удовольствия быть Вам лично знакомым, обращаюсь к Вам с просьбою. У меня есть &amp;#039;&amp;#039;протеже&amp;#039;&amp;#039; молодой баритон &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Борисоглебский&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, недавно окончивший курс в Московской консерватории и только что отбывший теперь воинскую повинность. Он желал бы выступить на подмостках Харьковского оперного театра, главное потому, что публика этого города очень любила покойного брата его, тоже &amp;#039;&amp;#039;баритона&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, умершего во цвете лет несколько лет тому назад. Просьба моя состоит в том, чтобы Вы соблаговолили допустить г. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Борисоглебского&amp;#039;&amp;#039; до дебюта на управляемом Вами театре. Возможно ли это? Если да, то когда ему приехать? Чрезвычайно обяжете, если на вопросы эти пришлёте мне ответ.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
С истинным почтением имею честь быть покорный слуга,&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|П. Чайковский}}&lt;br /&gt;
Голос у него есть, есть также общая талантливость и хорошая сценическая внешность. Он очень беден, и потому, в случае удачного дебюта, принятие его в Вашу труппу хотя бы первоначально на скромных условиях—было бы для него сущим благодеянием.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{centre|Gracious Sir!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Forgive me for, even without having had the pleasure of becoming personally acquainted with you, appealing to you with a request. I have a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;protegé&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, a young baritone &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Borisoglebsky]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, who has recently graduated from a course at the [[Moscow]] Conservatory, and is just about to complete his military service. He should like to be introduced to the stage of the [[Kharkov]] opera theatre, predominantly because the public of this city were very fond of his late brother &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, also a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;baritone&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, who passed away in the flower of youth some years ago. I am asking if you could be grant me the service of recommending Mr &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Borisoglebsky]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{{&amp;#039;}}s debut to the management of your theatre. Is this possible?  If so, then when should he come? I should be extremely obliged if you would send me the answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With sincere respect I have the honour to be your humble servant,&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
As well as having a voice, he is generally talented and has a good stage presence. He is very poor, and therefore, in the event of a successful debut, acceptance into your company, even on merely modest terms initially, would be a godsend for him.&lt;br /&gt;
