Letter by Paul Cavafy to C. P. Cavafy and John Cavafy Collection

[Cavafy], Polis [Paul],
Handwritten letter by Paul Cavafy from France to C. P. Cavafy and John Cavafy, on both sides of a sheet. Reference to the pension he might receive from the Municipality of Alexandria; extensive commentary, in an apologetic tone, on his lifestyle and the accumulation of debts –which appears to be a point of friction among the brothers– as well as on his health, which does not yet allow him to return to Alexandria. Paul has already been through Marseilles; his current expenses are being covered by a friendly person. He assures his brothers that he will see them again in a month. Of note is the use of English and French words and phrases. (Toulon)
