MARX TO J. M. WEBER
IN BERLIN
London, 24 April 1860
9 Grafton Terrace, Maitland Park, Haverstock Hill
Sir,
I have the honour to enclose a retaining fee of 15 talers, at the same time advising you that I fully agree to all the measures adopted by you.
I remain, Sir,
Your Obedient Servant,
Dr Karl Marx
P. S. As a result of investigations that I have started in Paris and Switzerland, notably in Geneva, I now have proof (after the proceedings I intend to publish it in pamphlet form) that Professor Karl Vogt is no more than a common French agent. I believe, by the by, that the annexation of Nice and Savoy will have opened the eyes of even the blindest of men to the 'Italian work of liberation',[1] the danger that is threatening Germany and the Tightness of those who uttered timely warnings.
- ↑ Under the 1858 Plombières agreement, France was to get Nice and Savoy for taking part in the forthcoming war against Austria on the side of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Although in the course of the Austro-Italo-French war (see Note 46) France violated the agreement by making a separate truce with Austria in Villafranca on 11 July 1859, it did, nonetheless, obtain Nice and Savoy under the Turin treaty of 24 March 1860.
