Monte Carlo, 6 May 1882 
Hotel de Russie 

My dear Cacadou, 

Only a few hours since I arrived here at Monte Carlo.?!° [| 
even doubt whether I shall find the time enough to indite a letter an- 
nounced already to Engels (at all events he will but receive it a day 
later). 

For the present I am obliged to run about on different errands. 
I enclose one photo for you, another for Fred *; no art can make the 
man look worse. 

Old Nick
