[London,] 9 September 1873 

Dear Frep, 

Letter from Hepner enclosed.” 

The copies of the Alliance* which were meant to go to your 
house have not yet arrived, even though Darson had them as early 
as last Saturday.” Therefore, so far I have had nothing to send off 
but the 12 copies still at your home. 

Salut. 

Your 
K. M. 

That sorry piece of work signed Perret, Duval, etc., was 
written —according to Trusov—by Cluseret.”' 1 said to you at the 
time that it could not have been written by those oafs because of 
the AFFECTATION OF A SMALL SORT OF LITERARY STYLE.
