MARX TO J. M. WEBER
IN BERLIN
London, 21 April 1860
9 Grafton Terrace, Maitland Park, Haverstock Hill
Sir,
Eleven days ago I sent you a letter[1] in which I notified you that I had still not received either an acknowledgment of, or a reply to, the numerous letters (enclosing documents, power of attorney, etc.) despatched from here and Manchester over the past two months, although your letter of 22 February had led me to expect an early communication and, according to that same letter, the action will become statute-barred on 22 April (i.e. tomorrow). I therefore requested an explanation.
Having received no reply to that letter either, I am forced to conclude
Either that my letters failed to arrive, although every one, save the last, was registered;
Or that at least one of your letters has been intercepted. Therefore, should this letter suffer the same fate as its predecessors, I shall lodge a complaint both with the General Post Office over here and with the Prussian Embassy; I shall also, if need be, make a public protest in the columns of the London 'Times'.
I am, Sir, Your most Obedient Servant,
Dr K. Marx
