Anna Ivanovna (Shcheglov's wife)

Wife of Ivan Leontyevich Leontyev (Shcheglov), sent Chekhov's closing regards here as "your hospitable and gracious wife," unnamed in this letter's own text but identified by the companion letter, which names her directly. Distinct from (Anna Ivanovna Suvorina, Aleksei Suvorin's wife) and the corpus's other unrelated women named Anna Ivanovna -- a name shared by several unrelated women in this correspondence and requiring careful disambiguation each time it recurs.
