Милый друг!
Мессер премилый, предобрый малый. Я очень раскаиваюсь в резких отзывах о нем. Пожалуйста, постарайся, чтобы это не дошло до него. В сущности, я сильно преувеличивал недостатки его. Он обоим нам очень полезен. До свиданья. Твой, П. Чайковский Спасибо за деньги и за щедрые гонорары. Пиши в Каменку. |
Dear friend!
Messer is an very dear and decent young man. I very much regret my harsh criticism of him. Please ensure that none of this reaches him. In fact, I've greatly exaggerated his shortcomings. He's been very useful to us both. Until we meet. Yours, P. Tchaikovsky Thank you for the money and for the generous royalties. Write to Kamenka. |
