Archivist's note
Cavafy wants to know whether Vaianos received his poems and what his reaction was regarding the non-publication of a letter of his in the journal Isis. While commenting on the social life in Alexandria, he mentions a performance by a Greek troupe, based on the work "To panigyri", by Pantelis Horn.
