[Rough copy)
[London,] June 30 [,1850]
Citizen Chairman,
While the June Revolution was attacked by all the watchdogs of the bourgeois class, I publicly defended those terrible days, which for me are the greatest manifestation of the struggle which the working class is pursuing against the capitalist class.
If I am absent from this refugee celebration today, it is because I am completely prevented by illness from being in your midst; my heart is with you.
Greetings and fraternity,
Karl Marx
