Handwritten letter by Paul Cavafy to C. P. Cavafy from Hyères, France, on both sides of a sheet. Paul expresses his concern, as he has not received correspondence from the poet. Subsequently, he informs him about the state of his health and about details of his social life, referring to high-society individuals with whom he consorts. Of note is the frequent use of English and French words and phrases in the flow of written discourse. (Hyères)
