Reading notes
- To M. V. Kiseleva, 6 January 1888. Moscow. §9 get no further than the Kryukovo tavern
Kryukovo was the railway station used for reaching Voskresensk and the Kiselevs' Babkino estate; Chekhov jokes that the coach money he sent for Nikifor will be drunk away at the station tavern before it reaches him.
