Handwritten diary-type letter by Stephen Schilizzi to Cavafy on all sides of a bifolio and of two loose sheets. Commentary on current affairs (events in honour of Queen Victoria). Reference to individuals from their friendly circle as well as to his everyday life (classes, entertainment). He expresses his discontent for the fact that Cavafy does not share information regarding his personal life, unlike the author, who makes detailed confessions of a personal nature. Cancellations, emendations, underlinings; use of French words in the flow of written discourse. On the verso of the last sheet, notes in pencil in a different handwriting, among which the names Aristeidis, Peter, John, Alekos are included. (Alexandria)
