Headnote
dateline, the body, and the signature. Dated 21 February 1892, from Moscow. distinct from (also dated 21 February 1892, but addressed to Lidia Alexeyevna Avilova, a different correspondent entirely): Chekhov evidently wrote both letters the same day.
A brief, businesslike note to the actor and playwright Dmitry Viktorovich Garin-Vinding (addressee,) of the Maly Theatre, reporting that Chekhov has now read both a play and a story Garin-Vinding had evidently sent him, and placing himself at Garin-Vinding’s disposal. No further detail on the works themselves is given.
Dear Dmitry Viktorovich, I have read both the play and the story. At your service.
Уважаемый Дмитрий Викторович, я прочел и пьесу и рассказ. К Вашим услугам.
