Handwritten diary-type letter by Paul Cavafy to C. P. Cavafy from Hyères, France. The text of the letter is written in two sections, one of which is a bifolio and the other a sheet written on the recto. Paul has received a letter from C. P. Cavafy and in the first part (6 April) he comments on health and debts and provides an update on his pension (as reported by Ralli); he promises to return to Alexandria. In the second part (7 April), he refers to a notice he received regarding his pension and quotes it in French. Of note is the use of French words and phrases.
