Reading notes
- To M. V. Kiseleva, 13 September 1887. Moscow. §7 Tyshechka
A household nickname for an acquaintance of the Chekhov circle in Moscow in 1887; not otherwise identified. "Without his little cap" (без шапочки) is likely a further private joke rather than a literal description.
- To M. V. Kiseleva, 17 February 1889. Moscow. §9 Tyshechka
"Tyshechka" (Тышечка), an established recurring nickname in the Kiseleva-circle correspondence (. letters 306, 243, and the untranslated 4-751), here again invoked with the running "in her little cap" (в шапочке) formula. The exact referent is never glossed in the source and, consistent with prior renderings, is left untranslated as a name here rather than force-resolved.
