18 мая Милый друг!
Обиходу меня есть, но остальных нотных книг, обозначенных в прилагаемом списке крестом, — нет, и я тебя прошу их мне выслать. Ещё следующая просьба: нельзя ли мне иметь книгу Белюстина «Письмо о богослужении», по крайней мере ту часть, где трактуется о всенощной. Не потрудишься ли при случае зайти к Глазунову и спросить есть ли она? Если да, то желаю её получить. Как мне стыдно, что так пристаю к тебе с поручениями. Твой П. Чайковский |

Another request follows: could I have Belyustin's book "A Letter on Divine Services", at least the part dealing with the All-Night Vigil. Couldn't you have occasion to call on Glazunov and ask if he has it? If so, then I would like to receive it. I'm ashamed to be pestering you with so many errands. Yours P. Tchaikovsky |
