==Text and Translation==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Lettertext&lt;br /&gt;
|Language=French&lt;br /&gt;
|Translator=Brett Langston&lt;br /&gt;
|Original text={{right|19/31 Mars 1893&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Kline, près Moscou&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{centre|Chère Madame!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Rentré chez moi après un long voyage, je trouve Votre charmante lettre, qui m&amp;#039;a fait un vif plaisir. Certainement je ne Vous ai pas oublié et suis très flatté de ce que Vous, de votre {{sic|cote|côté}}, ayez gardé un souvenir de notre voisinage de bateau. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vous me demandez, chère Madame, à quelle époque se donnent les grands concerts en Russie? La saison des concerts dure depuis le mois d&amp;#039;Octobre jusqu&amp;#039;au mois d&amp;#039;Avril dans toutes les grandes villes en Russie. Les meilleurs concerts sont ceux de la &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Société Impériale Musicale Russe&amp;#039;&amp;#039; qui a des branches à St. Petersbourg, Moscou, Kief, Kharkoff, Odessa. Quant à Varsovie, il s&amp;#039;y trouve une autre Société de concerts, dont la saison a lieu en même temps que ceux des autres villes. Quant à la question : quelles voix aiment les Russes, je Vous {{sic|réponderai|repondérai}}, qu&amp;#039;ils aiment, comme un peu partout, toutes les belles voix, de quelque genre {{sic|qu&amp;#039;ils|qu&amp;#039;elles}} soient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je serai très heureux de Vous revoir et de Vous entendre. En ce moment je n&amp;#039;ai pas de photographies, — mais dans quelques jours j&amp;#039;en aurai et Vous en enverrai une tout de suite, mais : {{und2|à charge de revanche}}!  n&amp;#039;est-ce pas, chère Madame!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Veuillez avoir la complaisance de transmettre mes salutations à Votre mari (souffre-t-il toujours du mal de mer quand il voyage?) et recevez l&amp;#039;assurance de mes meilleurs sentiments.&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|P. Tschaïkovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
Je n&amp;#039;ai pas reçu Votre lettre de l&amp;#039;année passée.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|Translated text={{right|19/31 March 1893&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Klin]], near [[Moscow]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{centre|Dear Madame!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Upon returning home after a long journey, I found your charming letter &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, which gave me great pleasure. I had certainly not forgotten you, and I am most flattered that you, on your part, have kept a memory of our time as neighbours on the boat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You asked me, dear Madame, at which time the great concerts are given in Russia? The concert season lasts from the month of October until the month of April in all the largest towns in Russia. The foremost concerts are those of the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Imperial Russian Musical Society&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which has branches in [[Saint Petersburg]], [[Moscow]], [[Kiev]], [[Kharkov]], [[Odessa]]. As for [[Warsaw]], they have another concert society, whose season is concurrent with those of other cities. As for the question of which voices do Russians like, I would respond that, as everywhere else, they like any manner of beautiful voices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I should be very glad to see you again and listen to you. At the moment I do not have any photographs — but I shall have some in a few days and will send you one forthwith, but {{und2|provided you do likewise}}! Is that not so, dear Madame!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please be so kind as to pass on my greetings to your husband (does he always suffer from sea-sickness when he travels?) and be assured of my best wishes.&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
I did not receive your letter from last year &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Letter from [[Alma Aronson]] to Tchaikovsky, dated 3 March 1893 {{NS}}.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A letter from [[Alma Aronson]] to the composer dated 30 October 1892 {{NS}} has survived in the [[Klin]] House-Museum Archive, although it is not clear if this was the letter being referred to here.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
