Not exactly, but this correspondence may be slightly helpful in 
preparing your translation:

Leontyev/Shcheglov's reminiscences of Chekhov, mentions the play:
<http://chehov.niv.ru/chehov/vospominaniya/leontev-scheglov.htm>

Chekhov's correspondence including several mentions of L/S's play:
<http://www.dushu.com.ua/index_28.htm>

I don't see anything in either place indicating that Chekhov might have 
written anything under this title, but others more erudite than I will 
certainly have the answer to that. I do see that Chekhov advised him on 
revisions.
