Gorodetsky

Reading notes
- To I. P. Chekhov, 16 July 1889. Parokhod "Olga". §12 send them on (by registered post) to this address: Yalta, to Daniil Mikhailovich Gorodetsky, for delivery to me
Practical forwarding instructions to Ivan for mail arriving after Chekhov's departure -- a reminder that letters in this corpus often carry logistical business alongside personal news.
- To N. A. Leikin, 13 August 1889. Sumy. §6 He is, I repeat, a decent man, educated and not stupid. A little inexperienced, but that is a remediable fault.
Chekhov's personal vouching for Gorodetsky is emphatic and repeated ("I repeat", "I vouch for him entirely"), and he offers to personally make good any loss -- an unusually strong business endorsement for this corpus, suggesting real esteem or a sense of obligation to a Yalta acquaintance.
