person
Vasilyev
also: Васильев
A Moscow contact of Leikin's from whom Chekhov received 12 rubles toward Leikin's running account, bringing the total in hand to 72 rubles 90 kopecks; otherwise unidentified in the source. Distinct from and, the other two named contacts in the same accounting, and unrelated to the hostile newspaper critic surnamed Vasilyev mentioned in (there tied to, not a person entity) or to any other Vasilyev in the corpus (e.g., a different Moscow bookseller from an earlier, unrelated letter).
Reading notes
- To N. A. Leikin, 22 December 1888. Moscow. §7 From Vasilyev I have received 12 r.
DISAMBIGUATION -- this Vasilyev is a separate payer in Leikin's Moscow accounts, distinct from Stupin and Salaev earlier in this same letter, and unrelated to the hostile newspaper critic surnamed Vasilyev who scolded Chekhov's brother Alexander's work in the Moscow Gazette (\S7, there tied to the publication rather than to a person entity) and to the actress "Vasilyeva" mentioned in. Also distinct from, an unrelated Moscow bookseller named in an earlier, unconnected letter. Same surname, four different people -- do not conflate.
