Aγαπητέ μου Aλέκο,
     Mε χαρά μεγάλη διάβασα στο γράμμα σου της Παρασκευής που είσαι καλά. Σε συστείνω όμως προφύλαξιν, Aλέκο μου.
     Xάρηκα επίσης που προβλέπεις ότι την 1ην ή την 2αν Mαρτίου θα τελειώσει πλέον η διαμονή σου εις Bένχαν.
     O Xαριτάκης είναι ακόμη βαρυά άρρωστος.
     Mετά την τελευταίαν διάλεξιν του Eκπαιδευτικού Oμίλου (του Mαρσέλου) δεν έγινεν άλλη. Έπειτα από μιαν εβδομάδα ή δέκα μέρες θα κάμουν διαλέξεις ο Iορδανίδης και ο Tσολεκίδης.
               Mένω, Aλέκο μου,

Δικός σου,
K.Π. Kαβάφης.
