Reading notes
- To A. I. Smagin, 24 November 1891. Moscow. §4 For the invitation to Bakumovka, expressed in the telegram, our heartfelt thanks.
One of two large villages in Poltava province near the farmstead Chekhov had toured and tried to buy in August 1888; evidently also near or adjoining Smagin's own property, since Smagin extends an invitation to visit there, which Chekhov here declines on grounds of overwork and influenza.
