Scope and content
Handwritten letters by three close friends of Cavafy (Mike Ralli, John Rodocanachi, Stephen Schilizzi) to the poet. Most letters date to the period when Cavafy was living in Istanbul with his mother and two of his siblings. A small part of the letters was sent to Cavafy from places where his friends were on holiday (England and France) when he had returned to Alexandria (1886). 86 of the items are dated.
