I am, apparently, awfully guilty before you — but less so than you think. I received your letter, forwarded to me in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vichy]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; from [[Klin]], 5 minutes before my departure, and therefore I couldn&amp;#039;t reply from there. Then in [[Paris]], where I spent 3 days, followed by the same in [[Petersburg]], I had no free time, and here, having barely arrived, I was forced to sit down to particularly urgent proofreading, and worked so hard that I neglected my correspondence altogether. Forgive me, for God&amp;#039;s sake! Just know that no matter how rarely and how little I write, my sincere friendship for you and yours shall never be eradicated from my heart. This is just as impossible as it impossible for me to forgive and love your namesake M. M. Ivanov (without the Ippolitov). Oh, what a son of a bitch! Today in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;New Time&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I read a whole column about his &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Requiem&amp;#039;&amp;#039;!!! And I know this is just comical rubbish!!! Anyway, to hell with him. I&amp;#039;ll say something about myself. In the month of May I was living peacefully at home in [[Klin]] (I now live in the town itself), and wrote the draft of the first movmemnt and finale of a new symphony. At the beginning of June, via [[Petersburg]], where I collected my nephew [[Vladimir Davydov|Davydov]], I went to drink the waters in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vichy]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, where I&amp;#039;d been sent for a while. I showed my nephew the fairy-tale side of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Paris]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which is particularly charming at this time of year, and then I was mercilessly bored and miserable in damned, disagreeable [[Vichy]]. Now I&amp;#039;m sitting at home and correcting every possible form of the opera and ballet, starting with the full scores of both. All this requires great urgency, and now there is no time for the symphony, which hasn&amp;#039;t progressed one jot, even in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vichy]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. You will say: why not entrust the proofreading to someone else? How could I, when experience has taught me to trust nobody, absolutely nobody! I think that I&amp;#039;ll be occupied exclusively with this unbearable, torturous work for at least a month and a half. And then? Then I cherish the dream of visiting [[Tiflis]] — you cannot imagine how much I&amp;#039;m drawn there!!! It&amp;#039;s highly, highly likely that in September of October I&amp;#039;ll turn up on the banks of the Kura, even just for a little while.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;[[Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov|Mishenka]], my dear fellow!

Я, по-видимому, ужасно перед тобой виноват, — но менее, чем ты думаешь. Письмо твоё, пересланное мне в &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Виши&amp;#039;&amp;#039; из Клина, я получил за 5 минут до отъезда и потому оттуда отвечать не мог. Затем в Париже, где я провёл 3 дня, и в Петербурге столько же, не нашлось досуга, а здесь, едва приехавши, я принуждён был засесть за особенно спешные корректуры и так заработался, что запустил совсем свою корреспонденцию. Прости, ради Бога! Знай, что как бы редко и мало я ни писал, — моя искреннейшая дружба к тебе и к твоим никогда не искоренится из моего сердца. Это так же невозможно, как невозможно, чтобы я простил и полюбил твоего тезку М. М. Иванова же, только не Ипполитова. Ах, какой сукин сын? Сегодня в «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Нов[ом] вр[емени]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» я прочёл целый фельетон об его &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Реквиеме&amp;#039;&amp;#039;!!! А мне эта комическая пакость известна!!! Впрочем, к черту его. Скажу кое-что про себя. В мае месяце я мирно проживал у себя в Клину (теперь я живу в самом городе) и написал вчерне первую часть и финал новой симфонии. В начале июня через Петербург, где я захватил племянника Давыдова, отправился пить воды в &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Виши&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, куда меня уже давно посылали. Показал племяннику &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;с казовой &lt;/del&gt;стороны &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Париж&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, который в это время года особенно очарователен, и засим немилосердно скучал и тосковал в проклятом, антипатичном Виши. Теперь сижу дома и корректирую оперу и балет во всевозможных видах начиная с партитуры того и другого. Все это требует большой спешности, и теперь не до симфонии, которая и в &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Виши&amp;#039;&amp;#039; не подвинулась ни на йоту. Ты скажешь: поручи корректуру другому? Как бы не так, опыт научил меня никому, решительно никому не доверять. Думаю, что, по крайней мере месяца полтора, я буду занят исключительно этой несносной, мучительной работой. А засим? Засим я лелею мечту побывать в Тифлисе, — ты не можешь себе представить, как меня туда тянет!!! Весьма, весьма возможно, что в сентябре или в октябре я хоть ненадолго появлюсь на берегах Куры.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Мишенька, мой милый!

I am, apparently, awfully guilty before you — but less so than you think. I received your letter, forwarded to me in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vichy]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; from [[Klin]], 5 minutes before my departure, and therefore I couldn&amp;#039;t reply from there. Then in [[Paris]], where I spent 3 days, followed by the same in [[Petersburg]], I had no free time, and here, having barely arrived, I was forced to sit down to particularly urgent proofreading, and worked so hard that I neglected my correspondence altogether. Forgive me, for God&amp;#039;s sake! Just know that no matter how rarely and how little I write, my sincere friendship for you and yours shall never be eradicated from my heart. This is just as impossible as it impossible for me to forgive and love your namesake M. M. Ivanov (without the Ippolitov). Oh, what a son of a bitch! Today in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;New Time&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I read a whole column about his &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Requiem&amp;#039;&amp;#039;!!! And I know this is just comical rubbish!!! Anyway, to hell with him. I&amp;#039;ll say something about myself. In the month of May I was living peacefully at home in [[Klin]] (I now live in the town itself), and wrote the draft of the first movmemnt and finale of a new symphony. At the beginning of June, via [[Petersburg]], where I collected my nephew [[Vladimir Davydov|Davydov]], I went to drink the waters in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vichy]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, where I&amp;#039;d been sent for a while. I showed my nephew the fairy-tale side of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Paris]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which is particularly charming at this time of year, and then I was mercilessly bored and miserable in damned, disagreeable [[Vichy]]. Now I&amp;#039;m sitting at home and correcting every possible form of the opera and ballet, starting with the full scores of both. All this requires great urgency, and now there is no time for the symphony, which hasn&amp;#039;t progressed one jot, even in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vichy]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. You will say: why not entrust the proofreading to someone else? How could I, when experience has taught me to trust nobody, absolutely nobody! I think that I&amp;#039;ll be occupied exclusively with this unbearable, torturous work for at least a month and a half. And then? Then I cherish the dream of visiting [[Tiflis]] — you cannot imagine how much I&amp;#039;m drawn there!!! It&amp;#039;s highly, highly likely that in September of October I&amp;#039;ll turn up on the banks of the Kura, even just for a little while. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Мишенька, мой милый! Я, по-видимому, ужасно перед тобой виноват, — но менее, чем ты думаешь. Письмо твоё, пересланное мне в &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Виши&amp;#039;&amp;#039; из Клина, я получил за 5 минут до отъезда и потому оттуда отвечать не мог. Затем в Париже, где я провёл 3 дня, и в Петербурге столько же, не нашлось досуга, а здесь, едва приехавши, я принуждён был засесть за особенно спешные корректуры и так заработался, что запустил совсем свою корреспонденцию. Прости, ради Бога! Знай, что как бы редко и мало я ни писал, — моя искреннейшая дружба к тебе и к твоим никогда не искоренится из моего сердца. Это так же невозможно, как невозможно, чтобы я простил и полюбил твоего тезку М. М. Иванова же, только не Ипполитова. Ах, какой сукин сын? Сегодня в «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Нов[ом] вр[емени]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» я прочёл целый фельетон об его &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Реквиеме&amp;#039;&amp;#039;!!! А мне эта комическая пакость известна!!! Впрочем, к черту его. Скажу кое-что про себя. В мае месяце я мирно проживал у себя в Клину (теперь я живу в самом городе) и написал вчерне первую часть и финал новой симфонии. В начале июня через Петербург, где я захватил племянника Давыдова, отправился пить воды в &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Виши&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, куда меня уже давно посылали. Показал племяннику с казовой стороны &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Париж&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, который в это время года особенно очарователен, и засим немилосердно скучал и тосковал в проклятом, антипатичном Виши. Теперь сижу дома и корректирую оперу и балет во всевозможных видах начиная с партитуры того и другого. Все это требует большой спешности, и теперь не до симфонии, которая и в &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Виши&amp;#039;&amp;#039; не подвинулась ни на йоту. Ты скажешь: поручи корректуру другому? Как бы не так, опыт научил меня никому, решительно никому не доверять. Думаю, что, по крайней мере месяца полтора, я буду занят исключительно этой несносной, мучительной работой. А засим? Засим я лелею мечту побывать в Тифлисе, — ты не можешь себе представить, как меня туда тянет!!! Весьма, весьма возможно, что в сентябре или в октябре я хоть ненадолго появлюсь на берегах Куры.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Анатолий систематически губит свою служебную карьеру. В &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Н[ижний] Н[овгород]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; его перевели, ибо с ревельским губ[ернатором] он жил на ножах — так же, как и с Шервашидзе. Но об этих печальных вещах лучше подробно поговорим при свиданьи. Что поделывает, как себя чувствует моя милая, симпатичнейшая ломачка! Целую крепко её ручку. Тебя, голубчик, обнимаю и Анну Михайловну с Татой тоже. Вере Нииолаевне поклон.&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|П. Ч.}}&lt;br /&gt;
Не могу вспомнить, куда заложил твоё письмо, и не знаю, были ли там вопросы, на которые ты желаешь ответа.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Напиши, пожалуйста, что теперь работаешь?&lt;br /&gt;
