Reading notes
- To Al. P. Chekhov, 25 September 1887. Moscow. §18 Volkov promissory note
A debtor named Volkov, otherwise unidentified, whose promissory note ("vexel") required a fuller letter than the requested open postcard -- presumably because its contents were not fit for a postcard anyone could read.
- To Al. P. Chekhov, 29 October 1887. Moscow. §4 the Volkov promissory note
A debtor's promissory note ("vexel") that recurs in Chekhov's business correspondence with Alexander around this period; here Chekhov worries it may have gone missing in the post along with his account.
- To Al. P. Chekhov, 10–11 January 1888. Moscow. §4 trouble Volkov for such a sum
Volkov, elsewhere the subject of a promissory-note dispute Chekhov asks Alexander to pursue on his behalf, is here invoked simply as someone the small fee of 36 rubles is too trifling to bother -- Chekhov preferring to collect this modest amount directly rather than route it through him.
- To M. P. Chekhova, 16 March 1891. Petersburg. §5 the Volkov promissory note for three hundred rubles
A вексель (promissory note/bill of exchange) from a debtor named Volkov, enclosed in the letter itself for safekeeping at home while Chekhov is abroad; Volkov is otherwise unidentified in the surviving correspondence beyond this financial instrument.
