&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Гурке&amp;#039;&amp;#039; сейчас написал. Пришла депеша о смерти &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Николая Сергеевича&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Дай, пожалуйста, знать, когда похороны, — я приеду. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Обнимаю.&lt;br /&gt;

I&amp;#039;ve just written to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Gurko&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. A dispatch came about the death of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Nikolay Sergeyevich&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. Please let me know when the funeral is.

I embrace you.&lt;br /&gt;
