Reading notes
- To M. P. Chekhova, 5 July 1891. Bogimovo. §6 Lilya
The joking gift of soap and insult (\"let her wash her ugly mug\") is typical of the letter's household in-joke register; matched here to the corpus's existing Lilya entity for want of a more specific alternative, though the connection to the Bogimovo/Lintvaryov circle of summer 1891 is not independently confirmed.
