Многое имел я писать; но не хочу писать к тебе чернилами и тростью,
I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink.
I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink.
I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink;
I have much more to say to you, but I don’t want to write it with pen and ink.
I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;
I had many things to write to thee, but I will not with ink and pen write to thee;
