PETERSBURG,
October 15, 1896.
... My “Seagull” comes on on the seventeenth of October. Madame
Kommissarzhevsky acts amazingly. There is no news. I am alive and well. I
shall be at Melihovo about the twenty-fifth or towards the end of October.
On the twenty-ninth is the meeting of the Zemstvo, at which I must be
present as there will be a discussion about roads....
