MARX TO JOSEF VALENTIN WEBER

IN LONDON

[London,] 22 April 1863
9 Grafton Terrace, Maitland Park, Haverstock Hill

Dear Weber,

Will you stand surety for me with a LOAN SOCIETY (for £ 1 5 to £30)?

I would not have troubled you with this request if

1. the matter were not an entirely formal one, entailing no risk to yourself, for I shall be getting £200 from home at the beginning of July;

2. Pfänder, who would otherwise have been my second surety, had not unexpectedly had to go to Manchester for several weeks.

In addition to other cases of illness in my family, I myself have been suffering from my periodic liver complaint for many weeks now and have thus been literally incapable of writing a single line. Hence the delay over the work for the Society[1] which was more disagreeable for me, of course, than for the Society itself.

Salut. Your

K. M.
