Scope and content
Handwritten letter on all four pages of a bifolio with mourning border. The end of the letter, which is addressed to Paul [Cavafy], is missing. The letter was sent by a sister of Charikleia Cavafy (most probably Euvoulia Papalamprinou), expressing her sentiments on the loss of the former. She asks for details regarding the death of her sister and complains about the delay in her being informed of the event. Interpolated words in French. (Istanbul)
