Madame Lintvaryova (unresolved)

Madame Lintvaryova

also: г-жи Линтваревой, Madame Lintvaryova

Referred to only as "г-жи Линтваревой" ("Madame Lintvaryova"), owner of the estate near Sumy where Chekhov reports living in \S3. The source gives no initial or further identifying detail, so which member of the Lintvaryov family this designates -- the matriarch Alexandra Vasilyevna, whose estate this in fact was, or one of her adult daughters -- cannot be determined from this letter alone. Left as a distinct, unresolved entity rather than merged with, following the precedent of for similarly underspecified family references.
