Vladimir Petrovich

Unidentified acquaintance greeted alongside the Golubevs in this letter. A different "Vladimir Petrovich", a Petersburg acquaintance paired with Nadezhda Vladimirovna, is already established elsewhere in this corpus from a 1886 letter; the name is common enough, and the context different enough (household greeting vs. a joking report on weight loss), that the two are kept as separate entities rather than merged -- flagged here as a possible but unconfirmed identity.
