Handwritten letter by Emmanouil Zalichi to Cavafy in two bifolios (the first with notes on all sides; the second with notes on the recto of the first sheet and on the verso of the second). The sender expresses his admiration for Cavafy's poetry, comments on his trip from Alexandria to Calcutta and provides information about his life there; he also refers to persons of their family. Of note is the use of French words and phrases in the flow of written discourse. Page numbers are indicated (2-6). (Calcutta)
