Reading notes
- To M. P. Chekhova, 3 September 1884. Voskresensk. §6 the Kiselyovs
The Kiselyov family of Babkino, near Voskresensk, close friends and summer hosts of the Chekhovs through the 1880s; Chekhov jokingly routes his greeting to them through his brother Ivan on account of their numerousness.
