{{centre|Дорогая Надежда Филаретовна!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Только что получил Ваше письмо и тороплюсь ответить только несколько слов, чтобы застать Вас ещё в Браилове. Завтра пошлю Вам более подробное письмо в Вену. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Я чувствую себя неизмеримо спокойнее и лучше. Симпатичная среда, в которой я теперь вращаюсь, тишина и мир, а также леченье водами, которое я начал в прошлую субботу, совершенно воскресили меня. Нужно признаться, что я обнаружил среди постигшего меня испытания необычайное малодушие и совершенное отсутствие мужества. Теперь мне совестно, что я до такой ужасной степени мог пасть духом и поддаться мрачной нервной экзальтации. Пожалуйста простите, что я причинил Вам беспокойство и тревогу. Я &amp;#039;&amp;#039;твёрдо&amp;#039;&amp;#039; уверен, что выйду теперь победителем из несколько тяжёлого и щекотливого положения. Нужно будет побороть в себе чувство &amp;#039;&amp;#039;отчуждённости&amp;#039;&amp;#039; относительно жены и оценить по достоинству её хорошие стороны. А они у неё несомненно есть.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Я до такой степени теперь оправился, что даже приступил на днях к инструментовке &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Вашей&amp;#039;&amp;#039; симфонии. Один из двух моих братьев, на суждение которого я очень полагаюсь, остался очень доволен тем, что я ему сыграл из этой симфонии. Надеюсь, что &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Вам&amp;#039;&amp;#039; она понравится тоже. Это главное. До свиданья, милый и дорогой друг. &lt;br /&gt;

Телеграфировать сюда можно и по тому же адресу: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Фастовская жел[езная] дорога, ст[анция] Каменка&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

{{centre|Dear [[Nadezhda Filaretovna]]!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Your letter has just arrived, and I&amp;#039;m hastening to send you some words in reply in order to catch you still at [[Brailov]]. Tomorrow I will send you a more detailed letter to [[Vienna]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I feel immeasurably calmer and better. The pleasant milieu in which I find myself now, the peace and quiet, as well as the water treatment I commenced last Saturday have revived me completely. I must confess that faced with the trial that befell me, I displayed incredible faintheartedness and a total absence of courage. Now I am ashamed that I could lose heart to such a terrible degree and succumb to a gloomy nervous exaltation. Please forgive me for having troubled and alarmed you. I am &amp;#039;&amp;#039;firmly&amp;#039;&amp;#039; convinced that I shall now emerge victorious from this somewhat difficult and delicate situation. I will have to overcome in myself this sense of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;alienation&amp;#039;&amp;#039; with regard to my wife and duly appreciate her good features. For without any doubt she does have these.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have now recovered to such an extent that a few days ago I even set about orchestrating &amp;#039;&amp;#039;your&amp;#039;&amp;#039; symphony. One of my two brothers, in whose judgement I have great faith, was very satisfied with what I played to him from this symphony. I hope that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;you&amp;#039;&amp;#039; will also like it. That&amp;#039;s the most important thing. Until we meet, dear and good friend. &lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Yours P. Tchaikovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
It is possible to to send a telegram here to the same address: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Fastov railway, [Kamenka]] station&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
