Перейдём к тётушке Ассьер. Я уже писал тебе, кажется, что на прочтённое тобой письмо я отвечал ей, чтоб она разъяснила в точности, какого рода занятий и места она желает. До сих пор я ответа не получал. Денег я ей послал всего 25 р[ублей] сер[ебром]. Ты спрашиваешь, какова она? Я её не видел никогда, но слышал от Папаши, от Лиз[аветы] Мих[айловны] и братьев, что она очень мила и симпатична. Адрес её следующий: г. Ставрополь, Ставропольской губ[ернии], в Кавалерийском Военном Училище, в квартире казначея, ''Ольге Григорьевне Ассьер''. Теперь у меня гостит её сын ''Миша''. Мальчик не лишён симпатичности, но его воспитатель очень на него мне жаловался за ''лень, беспорядочность и школьничество''.

Был на днях у Лиды Генке и отвёз детям хорошенькие подарки. Петю возил в театр. Целую тебя, мой Ангел.

Как теперь адресовать к вам письма??? На станцию ''Каменка'' или в Смелу?
