Abstract
A letter from Theofylaktos Gavriilidis and Naoum to Theofanis Emmanuilis. Naoum describes the difficult times he and his family are going through in Greece. He mentions that his family suffers from extreme poverty, and he himself is afflicted with pleurisy (inflammation of the lungs) and nephritis after cutting cottonwood.

Theofylaktos expresses his anticipation of meeting with Theofani and mentions that he has kept two cigarette packages for him.
