Reading notes
- To A. S. Suvorin, 18 March 1887. Moscow. §5 "The Extraordinary Tales" of E. Poe
Chekhov names this Russian edition of Poe's tales, in a footnote, purely as a size reference: he wants his own forthcoming collection (for Suvorin's publishing house) to match its length, and asks the printer to check whether his sixteen submitted stories will fill it.
