|Original text={{centre|Милостливый государь Виктор Иванович!}}
Сегодня я имел удовольствие прочитать написанную Вами оперу «Гипербола», она вполне соответствует моему желанию только одно слишком много арий и речитативов, а {{sic|доетов|дуэтов}}, трио и т. п. очень мало, — однако ж, несмотря на это, мне остаётся только от души Вас благодарит!

С истинным к Вам уважением остаюсь,

[На обороте письма:]

Молодой звезде, появившейся на небосклоне русской литературы: Виктору Ивановичу Ольховскому от маэстро П. Чайковского.

|Translated text={{centre|Gracious Sir [[Viktor Olkhovsky|Viktor Ivanovich]]!}}
Today I had the pleasure of reading your text for the opera "[[Hyperbola]]" <ref name="note1"/>, which completely corresponds to my requirements, except that there are one too many arias and recitatives, and too few duets, trios, etc. However, in spite of this you still have my heartfelt thanks!

With sincere respect for you, I remain,
{{right|Petrukha}}

[On the back of the letter:]

To a young star, emerging on the horizons of Russian literature: [[Viktor Olkhovsky|Viktor Ivanovich Olkhovsky]], from Maestro P. Tchaikovsky.
