Part of CAVAFY, C. P. FONDS
Handwritten letter by Sévastie Verhaeghe de Naeyer, Cavafy's aunt, to the poet. The letter is written in all four pages of a double sheet letterhead, with her first name in print. She proposes to Cavafy and his brother, Aristeidis, to travel and work in China, where they could have a career as customs officials. She details the working conditions and salaries. (Sévastie is in China with her family, as her husband served with the Belgian diplomatic delegation in Shanghai at the time.)
