I was obliged to give a card of introduction (to Paul [Lafargue]) to a young Dr. Conrad Schmidt of Konigsberg, who dabbles in question sociale. He is about the greenest youth I ever saw, he was here about 3 months, seems a decent fellow, as decent fellows go nowadays, frisst keine Schuhnägel und säuft keine Tinte. [eats no boot nails and drinks no ink] If Paul deposits him rue Richelieu, BibliotĂŠque nationale, he will not trouble him much. He admires Zola in whom he has discovered the âmaterialistische Geschichtsanschauung.â [materialist conception of history]
