Ещё раз прошу извинения за «''Датскую увертюру''». В оправдание мне может послужить, что я не знал, что ты будешь её гравировать. Зимой я брал рукопись, но, усмотрев, что нужно порядочно времени, чтобы её привести в порядок, за недосугом бросил мысль об издании партитуры и возвратил тебе её, ничего не сказавши.

Зато теперь, когда я сделаю ещё одну корректуру, — думаю, что выйдет вещь ''репертуарная'', ибо она, помнится, очень эффектна, а по качеству куда лучше «1812 г[ода]».

Посылаю тебе письмо от какого-то венского издателя. Посоветуй мне, что отвечать. Не есть ли этот господин какой-нибудь жадюга?

Ведь одну пиэсу для интернационального альбома я уже давно послал в Вену через Осипа Ивановича!

У Зверева вчера был роскошный ''дежёне динатуар'', после винт, — а в 9 часов уехал домой.

В скором времени опять буду в Москве.

Once again I apologise about the "''[[Danish Overture]]''" <ref name="note1"/>. My excuse is that I didn't know you were going to engrave it. I took the manuscript in the winter, but, seeing that it would take a good while to put in order, for lack of time I abandoned the idea of publishing the score, and returned it to you without saying anything.

And yet now, as I'm checking the proofs once more, I think it's something that will enter the ''repertoire'', because it is, as I recall, very effective, and of far better quality than "[[1812]]" <ref name="note2"/>.

I'm sending you a letter from some Viennese publisher <ref name="note3"/>. Please advise how to respond. Isn't this gentleman some sort of skinflint?

After all, I've already sent one piece for the international album to [[Vienna]] via [[Osip Ivanovich]]! <ref name="note4"/>.

At Zverev's this evening I had a magnificent ''déjeuner dinatoire'' <ref name="note5"/>, vint afterwards—then at 9 o'clock I went home.

I shall be in [[Moscow]] again sometime soon.
