"

I am thinking of a letter to the Tsar on the subject of land, a letter of the greatest importance, and at the same time I am thinking of how to tell Sofya Andreevna that Ilia Vasilievich * wants to receive a higher salary. One is the good of the Russian people, about which I speak with the Tsar, and another is an increase of the lackey's levy. But the second is more important than the first, because it requires my participation and determination, while the first I only initiate.

Romanian

"Mă gândesc la o scrisoare către Țar pe tema pamântului, scrisoare de cea mai mare importanță, și în același timp mă gândesc cum să-i spun Sofiei Andreevna că Ilia Vasilievici * vrea să primească un salariu mai mare. Una e binele poporului rus, despre care vorbesc cu Țarul, și alta e o mărire a lefii lacheului. Dar a doua e mai importantă decât prima, fiindcă cere participarea și hotărârea mea, pe când pe prima doar o inițiez."
