MARX TO JENNY LONGUET
IN ARGENTEUIL
[Postcard]
Cannes, 4 Juin[1] 1882
Dearest Child,
I'll come at some of the first days of the week beginning on the 6th June. I cannot specify; it will depend on circumstance not to be exactly foreseen. Hence you oblige me greatly by not bothering about the exact day or hour of arrival. Till now, I have always found that nothing has done me more harm than people, at the station, waiting for me. Do not tell anybody else (ci-inclus le Gascon, le Russe et le Hirsch)[2] that I am expected that week. I'll want some absolute quietness alone with your family, No. 11, Boulevard Thiers.
Yours,
Old Nick
By 'quietness' I mean the 'family life', 'the children's noise', that 'microscopic world' more interesting than the 'macroscopic'.
