Over my fireplace he has painted a moonlight night in the hayfield, cocks of hay, forest in the distance, a moon reigning on high above it all. Well, the best of health to you, dear, wonderful actress. I have been pining for you. And when are you going to send me your photograph? What treachery! YALTA, January 8, 1900. ... My health is not so bad.
Gorky should not be published in parts; either he must write more briefly, or you must put him in whole as the Vyestnik Evropy does with Boborykin. "Foma," by the way, is very successful, but only with intelligent well-read people with the young also. YALTA, February 29, 1900. "Foma Gordeyev" is written all in one tone like a dissertation.
For the last few months she has been zealously corresponding with her brother; she evidently has some secret projects, but what they are God knows! I am sick of trying to fathom her underhand schemes! But we're going, not to the country, but to Yalta and afterwards to the Caucasus.
IT was said that a new person had appeared on the sea-front: a lady with a little dog. Dmitri Dmitritch Gurov, who had by then been a fortnight at Yalta, and so was fairly at home there, had begun to take an interest in new arrivals.
Now that is to-day it is warmer and I feel better, but still I cannot write, as my head is aching. Olga will not bring the play; I will send the four acts together as soon as it is possible for me to set to work for a whole day.

The consciousness of having to go away early in the autumn gradually brought Chekhov to decide to sell the place.

YALTA, March 26, 1900. ... There is no news, there is no water in the pipes either. I am sick to death of visitors. Yesterday, March 25, they came in an incessant stream all day; doctors keep sending people from Moscow and the provinces with letters asking me to find lodgings, to "make arrangements," as though I were a house-agent! Mother is well.
NATALYA MIHALOVNA, a young married lady who had arrived in the morning from Yalta, was having her dinner, and in a never-ceasing flow of babble was telling her husband of all the charms of the Crimea. Her husband, delighted, gazed tenderly at her enthusiastic face, listened, and from time to time put in a question. "But they say living is dreadfully expensive there?" he asked, among other things.
Petersburg , Moscow, , Novgorod, Riga, and Yalta , and the abrogation of the time-honored privileges of the Jews of Bokhara . Even those who, as skilled artisans or discharged soldiers, had been privileged to reside wherever they chose, were expelled with their wives and the children born in their adopted city. Their only salvation lay in conversion.
YALTA, March 9, 1899. I shall not be at the writers' congress. In the autumn I shall be in the Crimea or abroad that is, of course, if I am alive and free. By the way, in what district of the Tula province have you bought your estate? For the first two years after buying an estate one has a hard time, at moments it is very bad indeed, but by degrees one is led to Nirvana, by sweet habit.
