==Notes and References==<br />
<references><br />
<ref name="note1">The autograph was auctioned in 1977 by J. A. Stargardt, Marburg.</ref><br />
<ref name="note2">J. A. Stargardt, ''Autographen aus allen Gebieten'' (Marburg, 1977), p. 235. Their German translation of the extract reads: "... Gerade eben bin ich von meiner Auslandsreise zurückgekehrt. Unseren<br />
Abmachungen entsprechend schicke ich Ihnen meinen Auslandspaß und den Ukas meiner Demission, mit der<br />
Bitte, sie weiterzuleiten ...".</ref> <br />
<ref name="note3">The date of this letter given in the auction catalogue's summary — "Klin 22. I. 1892" — is problematic, because on 22 January/3 February 1892 Tchaikovsky had not yet returned home from his recent travels. The auctioneers must clearly have misread a number in the date of this letter. We have dated it here provisionally to 28 January/9 February 1892, since that is the day on which Tchaikovsky arrived back at his home at [[Maydanovo]], near [[Klin]].</ref><br />
