Handwritten diary-type letter by Paul Cavafy to C. P. Cavafy from Hyères, France, on both sides of two sheets. The letter is written on three different days, marked separately. In the first part, Paul expresses his nostalgia for his family and, on the occasion of the news from Alexandria he reads in the Press sent by the poet, he refers to various individuals (Zervoudakis, etc.) expressing his opinion either on their overall activities or on current events. In the rest of the letter he describes the state of general De Horsey's health, gives information on his family in England and describes his way of living. Of note is the frequent use of English and French words and phrases in the flow of written discourse. (Hyères)
