Letter to Mr. Navratil in Prague about a document that is not in his possession. In part (translated): “In answering as soon as possible your letter I have to let you know that the document you are talking about never reached me nor was in my possession. I have to add that I will leave St. Petersburg in the coming days for a longer period of time.” In fine condition. At the time of this letter, Rimsky-Korsakov was in the midst of creative drought, brought on by his own personal demons and the severe illness of his wife and son. This drought was so bad he considered giving up composing completely.
