Reading notes
- To A. I. Smagin, 1891. Moscow. §6 Leshkovskaya sends You her regards.
Yelizaveta Konstantinovna Leshkovskaya, actress of Moscow's Maly Theatre, already established in the corpus since 1888; her presence sending regards here (rather than, e.g., Elena Ivanovna as at, \S8) suggests she was among Chekhov's company in Moscow at the time of writing.
- To A. I. Smagin, 14 January 1892. Moscow. §6 Do you think, heartless one, of Leshkovskaya?
Yelizaveta Konstantinovna Leshkovskaya, the Maly Theatre actress, invoked here in a teasing aside implying some admiration or attachment on Smagin's part -- consistent with the light, personal register of the rest of the Smagin correspondence rather than any theatrical business.
