Manchester, 28 July 1869 

Dear Kugelmann, 

Enclosed the biography suitably adapted for Zukunft,°°° and 
drawing attention to the 18th Brumaire. I would be grateful if you 
had it copied there, since it would be better for Weiss not to know 
it is by me. 

Marx will be writing to you, or will have already written, about 
the journey. You certainly will not get him to go to Karlsbad,” and 
as far as I am concerned, the business with the final accounts, etc. 
is dragging on so much that I have no idea when I shall be able to 
get away; it’s as good as certain that this will not be before 15-20 
August. It’s very unpleasant, but since this is the last time that 
commerce will burden me so, I should not grumble too much. This 
means that I shall scarcely get to see you this year, as I shall 
hardly get as far afield as Karlsbad. 

In order to get the biography off today I must close now—so 
until next time, and let Karlsbad do some good to your gall-stones. 

a K. Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, 2nd edition. - » Karlovy Vary 

One of my sisters-in-law in Barmen also had some once, but she is 
happily rid of them, and once again round, fat and jolly. 

Yours 
F. E.
