	\|Translated text=[[Modya]]! How silly [[Aleksey Sofronov\|~~Lenka~~]] is! He's written a whole letter without even a single word about the joys that lie ahead for us. I'm completely happy and looking forward to meeting with you both by working a great deal. The pleasure of anticipation is a splendid stimulus to work. I'm very satisfied with my symphony, which is undoubtedly the best that I've written, but it's not coming to me without hard work, particularly the first movement. I kiss you tenderly. I'm waiting for your letter with details of where, how and what!		\|Translated text=[[Modya]]! How silly [[Aleksey Sofronov\|Lyonka]] is!

|Original text=Модя! Как глуп Ленька! Написал целое письмо и ни единого слова не упоминает о радости, которая предстоит и ему и мне. Я совершенно счастлив и в ожидании свидания с вами обоими буду много работать. Приятное ожидание — отличный стимул для работы. Я очень доволен своей симфонией, — это несомненно лучшее, что я написал, но она даётся мне не без труда, особенно первая часть. Целую тебя нежно. Жду от тебя письма с подробностями где, как и что!
