Lyudmila Ivanovna
also: Людмила Ивановна
Mentioned in passing in a letter to A. I. Smagin ("About Lyudmila Ivanovna, one must think") -- almost certainly a figure in Smagin's own circle near the estate under negotiation, given the surrounding household/estate business, but not otherwise identified or elaborated on in the surviving letter. Distinct from (a different Lyudmila, in Lyubov Kamburova's Taganrog circle) and.
Reading notes
- To A. I. Smagin, 21 November 1891. Moscow. §16 About Lyudmila Ivanovna, one must think
A bare, undeveloped aside -- "Насчет Людмилы Ивановны надо подумать" -- with no further context in the letter to identify who Lyudmila Ivanovna is or what needs thinking about. Given the surrounding household/estate business, she is likely a figure in Smagin's own circle near the property under negotiation (a prospective tenant, servant, or connection to be dealt with as part of the purchase), but this is inference, not established fact. Not to be confused with the unrelated Lyudmila Pavlovna of the Taganrog circle elsewhere in the corpus.
