Enclosed a letter from Russia and one from Solingen. The German-Russian seems to me to be the same man Meyer told us about. Kugelmann has sent me an issue of the *Deutsche Volkszeitung* (Hannover), containing a short notice of my book written by him. In it K. imitates, and by no means successfully, one of your articles. Since this paper is democratic, he could have gone more into the content. He has me arrive, inter alia, at the “admittedly astonishing conclusion” “that all capital has arisen from unpaid labour-power”. Among the “German luminaries of political economy” whose “opinion” he wants, Mr “Faucher” (luckily printed “Taucher”) figures at the head and Roscher at the end. The “revelations” about Freiligrath which you communicated have caused a great sensation here in the house. At this moment Bonaparte needs, to get out of the scrape, an émeute or a secret society in Paris. For the time being he treats the Ligue de la Paix as such. But that ass Pyat is just now preparing the necessary corpus delicti for him from here. I have a troublesome carbuncle on the right side of my back.

Salut
Your K. M.
