М. И. ЧАЙКОВСКОМУ, 17 января 1891 г. Петербург.
Headnote
A one-line note written from Petersburg on 17 January 1891 to Modest Ilyich Tchaikovsky – playwright, librettist, and younger brother of the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky – reminding him not to forget the "Maly Yaroslavets," the Petersburg tavern/restaurant that recurs through Chekhov’s letters of this same visit as a gathering spot for his circle that winter; no further context survives to say what plan or engagement involving the tavern is meant. The message is followed by the address panel from the envelope, giving Modest Tchaikovsky’s Petersburg address on the Fontanka.
