person
Levkin
also: Леухин, Levkin
An errand-man or agent in Moscow handling the sale of Leikin's books and forwarding payment for them; distinct from the letter's addressee, Nikolai Alexandrovich Leikin -- the source spelling "Леухин" (Leukhin) is close enough to "Лейкин" (Leikin) to invite confusion, but context (a third party reporting to Leikin about Leikin's own book sales) makes clear this is a separate individual.
Reading notes
- To N. A. Leikin, 29 March 1888. Moscow. §5 Levkin
An errand-man or agent in Moscow handling the sale of Leikin's books on his behalf. Not to be confused with Leikin (Nikolai Aleksandrovich Leikin), the letter's addressee: the source spelling "Леухин" (Levkin/Leukhin) is close enough to "Лейкин" (Leikin) to invite confusion, but the sentence is explicitly a third party reporting to Leikin about the sale of Leikin's own books, which makes clear these are two distinct people.
