MARX TO JENNY LONGUET
IN ARGENTEUIL
Monte Carlo, 8 May 1882 Hôtel de Russie, Monte Carlo
Dear Jennychen,
The said Monte Carlo, whence I send you these lines, is one of the 3 places (adjoining one another) whose trinity constitutes the state of 'Monaco' (i.e. Monaco, Condamine and Monte Carlo). A really beautiful situation. Climate preferable to that of Nice or even Men- ton.
I need hardly say that with comical consistency I imported into the region the first 2 rainy days (since January); it would seem that they were only awaiting my arrival from Algiers for this to happen. Apart from that I struck magnificent weather.
As you will have learnt from my last letter,[1] I am quit of my pleu- risy; the bronchial catarrh can only clear up very gradually. More- over the atmosphere will soon be warm and dry everywhere (which, however, raises fears of a water shortage); the intensity of the sun's ac- tion will be all the greater for its being strewn with large spots. So everywhere there will soon be the kind of weather I need.
As I am not sure how long I shall be staying here, I should like you to let me know at once from Paris where I can find you; it would be best if you telegraphed me here, for a telegram will give me sufficient in- formation in 3 or 4 words.
Lots of kisses for the children.
Your
OLD Moor
