person
Auntie (unnamed family aunt, Sumy/Luka period)
Auntie
also: тетя, Auntie
An unnamed aunt figure recurring in the Chekhov family's Sumy/Luka-period correspondence, apparently living nearby and in regular contact with the household; first appears as "Auntie and her brood" in the greetings list of the immediately preceding letter to Masha (\S5, left unlinked there pending cross-reference), and here as the person from whose shed or household a sample stretcher-frame is to be borrowed (\S4, \S6). Not further identified by name in the source; distinct from the Moscow-household "Aunt F." tracked from a different letter.
Reading notes
- To M. P. Chekhova, 28 April 1889. Sumy. §4 at Auntie's
The same unnamed family aunt referenced as "Auntie and her brood" in the greetings list of the immediately preceding letter (\S5, left unlinked there); here she appears to live near enough to the household (in Sumy or at Luka) that her shed can plausibly hold a sample stretcher-frame Nikolai can borrow. Not further identified by name in the source.
