{{quote|Please receive a thousand thanks for your kindness. By presenting me with your autograph you have made me indescribably happy. I shall cherish it with profound respect as a valuable keepsake and ask you, dear maestro, to accept from me the enclosed photographs as a faint token of my gratitude for the role in your incomparable opera ''[[The Queen of Spades]]'', in whose cast I had the honour of appearing, much as I was unworthy of such an honour.}}
