MARX TO ENGELS
IN MANCHESTER
[London,] 18 April 1868
DEAR FRED,
I have been lying fallow until today and could not leave the house. My arm was so inflamed, and there was so much suppuration, that I could wear nothing on that arm and movement was upsetting, too. The suppuration has stopped completely this morning. The wounds themselves heal rapidly. I shall go out again today. With the help of arsenic I now hope that this disgusting muck is finished.
The Viennese affairs enclosed were sent by Fox, who is also responsible for the pencil marks.
On Tuesday[1] I have to pay £ 5 for school and £ 1 5s. for gymnastic classes for Tussy. If it is possible for you to send this by return, I would appreciate it very much, for the sake of the child.
The departure is still a good way off. Kugelmann jumps to conclusions too rapidly. I only wrote to him that I would be coming SOME TIME OR OTHER.[2]
Becker's appeal, which is enclosed, demonstrates again the great lack of discipline. We stopped the collections in the London UNIONS, and the Parisians did the same, because it is only now that we are informed that further money is needed. If they had telegraphed from Geneva on the same day, it would have been ALL RIGHT.
Salut.
Your
K. M.
