Part of CAVAFY, C. P. FONDS

Handwritten notes by Cavafy, some with date indications (1932 and 1933), on pieces of paper of various sizes, letterheads of the Cosmopolite Hotel in Athens, the hospital of the Greek Community of Alexandria and on advertisement brochures from Alexandria. Some of the notes are addressed to Alekos and Rica Singopoulo; other notes refer to poems or titles of poems of his. Two of the notes pertain to his health. A total of 23 pieces of paper inside a handmade folder of hard paper, entitled "From the last manuscripts of C.P.C.", in a handwriting other than the poet's (most probably Rica Singopoulo's). Interpolated words and phrases in English. They are notes through which Cavafy communicated when he was longer able to speak, due to the tracheostomy he underwent in 1932 in Athens.
