MARX TO JENNY LONGUET

Hôtel de Russie
Dearest Child,
I am always happy to receive a letter from you, though regretting that your Old Nick steals some time of your night's rest.
My health is improving with the weather; possibly I shall perhaps at the beginning of June go to Cannes, and remain there for a week or so. Everything depends of medical advice, and the character of the summer opening in June.
[As to] Lafargue's (I mean the man's of Cuba) paper[1] has committed great blunders, mostly from ignorance, and the childish aspiration 'to go as far as possible'.
As to the Bataille, I have seen till now not anything brilliant. In fact I do know it only to No. 4; but I will have always the time to see that!
My heart is with you and the children; I yearn for them. However, I shall, after a series of most disagreeable 'medical' experiments, precipitate nothing. With all that, I hope to be soon with them.
Your
Old Nick
