Handwritten letter by Raphael Demos to Takis Kalmouchos on both sides of a sheet. The sender, professor of philosophy at Harvard University and translator of Cavafy's poems, asks Kalmouchos to send him a draft printout of the planned publication of the poet's Complete Works. The letter is accompanied by two pages from the journal The New Republic containing the English translations of the poems Waiting for the Barbarians and Thermopylae, together with a brief introduction to the life and work of Cavafy.
