Пожалуйста, голубчик, на заглавном листе симфонии выставь следующее:<br />
{{quote|{{centre|Владимиру Львовичу Давыдову<br/>''Symphonie Pathétique''<br/>(№ 6)<br/>''op.???''<br/>''соч. П. Чай[ковского]}}}}<br />
Надеюсь, что не поздно! С этой симфонией происходит что-то странное! Она не то чтобы не понравилась, но произвела некоторое недоумение. Что касается меня самого, то я ей горжусь более, чем каким-либо другим моим сочинением. Но об этом мы вскоре поговорим, ибо я буду в субботу в Москве. Обнимаю.<br />

''Ради Бога, как можно скорее'' вышли в ''консерваторию в Петербург голоса финала'' конюсовской ''сюиты''!!! Если не печатные, то хоть писаные.<br />

Please, golubchik, put the following on the symphony's title page:<br />
{{quote|{{centre|To Vladimir Lvovich Davydov<br/>''Symphonie Pathétique''<br/>(No. 6)<br/>''Op.???''<br/>''Composed by P. Tchaikovsky}}}}<br />
I hope it's not too late! Something strange is happening with this symphony! It's not that it displeased, but it has caused some bewilderment <ref name="note1"/>. So far as I myself am concerned, I'm more proud of it than any of my other works, but we'll talk about this soon because I'll be in [[Moscow]] on Saturday <ref name="note2"/>. I embrace you.<br />
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}<br />
''For God's sake, as soon as possible'' send to ''the conservatory in [[Petersburg]] the parts for the finale'' of [[Georgy Konyus|Konyus]]'s ''suite''!!! If not printed, then at least in manuscript <ref name="note3"/>.<br />
