          Archivist's note

          Cavafy informs Rica Singopoulo about the literary news of Alexandria, such as publications in the Othoni and the Ephimerida. He informs about the despatch of copies of Alexandrini Techni to Vaianos. Along with the copies, he also encloses poems of his, so that they may be forwarded to Kostas Karyotakis. He kindly asks that she finds compositions by Mitropoulo based on his poems in a music shop in Athens. He also comments on a theatrical performance based on the play "L'ombra" του Dario Nikodemi (Dario Niccodemi), which he attended in Alexandria.
