He signs off, then gives the reverse-side address block: Bronnaya, B. Kozikhinsky Lane, Teptsov’s house, apartment 4, addressed to Garin-Vinding by his honorific.

Dear Dmitry Viktorovich, it is difficult to catch me at home now. Tomorrow I leave Moscow and shall not return home before the 23rd. After the 23rd, write to me on what day and hour you will be so good as to call on me, and I shall wait for you. Best of all in the evening, about six o’clock.
Уважаемый Дмитрий Викторович, меня теперь трудно застать дома. Завтра я уезжаю из Москвы и вернусь домой не раньше 23-го. После 23-го Вы напишите мне, в какой день и час Вы пожалуете ко мне, и я буду ждать Вас. Лучше всего вечером, часу в шестом.
Yours, A. Chekhov.
Ваш А. Чехов.
