Dear Friend,
Would you be so kind as to publish the following statement in your newspaper and to send me a copy of the issue in question.
Yours very sincerely,
Karl Marx
TO THE EDITORIAL BOARD OF THE NEUE FREIE PRESSE
Under the heading âA Socialist SoirĂ©eâ, signed W.,[1] the Vienna
Presse carries a feature article in which I have the honour to figure. W. met me, so he says,at a soirĂ©e at Herzenâs house. He even recalled the speeches that I made there.
A firm opponent of Herzen, I have always refused to meet him, and have therefore never seen the man in my life.
I doubt whether the imaginative W. has ever been to London. As a matter of fact, there are no âmarble stepsâ there, except in the palaces, though W. even found some in Herzenâs âCOTTAGEâ!
I hereby challenge the imaginative W., whom the laurels of the Paris-Journal and similar police newspapers[2] will not allow to sleep, to name himself.
Karl Marx
