Очень, очень жаль, что Вы покидаете консерваторию. Нельзя ли как-нибудь устроить примирение Вас с Сафоновым? Если же нет, то само собой разумеется, что я всячески рад Вам помочь, но к кому обратиться? Где можно найти достойное Вам положение?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
В Петербурге, после ухода Пиккеля, нет концертмейстера, есть только исполняющий эту должность г. Вальтер. Вот если бы Вам предложить это место?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Сейчас напишу Направнику и спрошу, есть ли возможность устроить это дело. По получении ответа уведомлю Вас. В течение месяца я побываю в Москве и лично переговорю с Вами, а покамест крепко жму Вашу руку.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Напишите — хотите ли Вы, чтобы я постарался быть посредником между Вами и Сафоновым.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Искренно преданный,&lt;br /&gt;

|Translated text={{centre|Dear [[Vasily Salin|Vasily Zakharovich]]!}}&lt;br /&gt;
I am very, very sorry that you have left the conservatory &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. Is there no possibility somehow of arranging a reconciliation between you and [[Safonov]]? If not then it goes without saying that I&amp;#039;m happy to assist you in every way, but who to approach? Where might one find a position worthy of you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Petersburg]], since Pikkel &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; left, there has been no permanent concertmaster, only Mr Walter &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; acting in the role. What if you were proposed for this position?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;#039;ll write now to [[Nápravník]] and ask if it&amp;#039;s possible to arrange this &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. I&amp;#039;ll notify you when I receive a reply. This month I will travel to [[Moscow]] and discuss this with you in person, and in the meantime I shake your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do write. If you wish it I shall try to act as an intermediary between you and [[Safonov]] &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note5&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely devoted,&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes and References==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;references&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In a letter of 26 March/7 April 1893, [[Vasily Salin]] told Tchaikovsky that he had resigned from the staff of the [[Moscow]] Conservatory, owing to personal differences with its director, [[Vasily Safonov]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Ivan Nikolayevich Pikkel (1892-1902), violinist and concertmaster with the Imperial Theatres opera company in [[Saint Petersburg]] from 1855 to 1855.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Viktor Grigoryevich Walter (Valter, 1865-1935), violinist and concertmaster with the Maryinsky Theatre orchestra.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;See [[Letter 4909]] to Eduard Nápravník, 5/17 April 1893.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Ultimately a reconciliation with [[Vasily Safonov]] proved impossible, and [[Vasily Salin]] went to find employment in [[Kiev]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/references&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
