8 July 1870. Heat abominable! Dear Fred, Upon receipt of your telegram I communicated the necessary to Dupont. He departs Monday, 11 o’clock, from Euston Station. I recommend letting the child sleep at his place for the short time he is there. Since the illness and the death of the mother some neglect, and with school attendance it is possible that some living thing stirred on the head. At least the female part here thinks so. I will send you tomorrow the French papers with the trial proceedings. I must have them back as soon as possible. Jüdche Fränkel has earned laurels. You will see the tendency both among the accused and the journals, etc., to appropriate for themselves (Paris) the invention of the International. Regarding the London catalogue I will go and see Beesly tomorrow. Salut D KM (Verte) Jenny has still no answer from Ireland except the enclosed letter from Pigott. This fellow writes as if replying to an advertisement. Little Jenny is too gentille for him. Il lui faut the ferocious Irish girl. If the foreigners here generally have a prejudice against the Irish, are not such bigoted nationalists as P. to blame for it?
