I need some help to locate the diary of diaries of C.L.M. Evangelides (or
Christos Evangelides). Once it used to be located at the Manuscripts
Library of the New York Historical Society, then at the Rare books and
Manuscripts Library of Columbia University. Now I cannot find it. Anybody
knows its whereabouts? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
