Obolensky (boats anecdote)

Named only via the teased, deferred anecdote "With Obolensky's boats there is a whole story" -- no further context is given here. Distinct from (Leonid Obolensky, the literary critic who reviewed Chekhov in Russkoye Bogatstvo) and from (N. N. Obolonsky, the Moscow physician); the surname spelling in this letter (Оболенский) matches the critic's spelling rather than the physician's (Оболонский), but nothing in this letter's boating context ties it to the critic, so the identity is kept separate and unresolved rather than merged with either.
