Folkestone, 27 August 1890 

Have received postcards of 9 and 13 August. There was so much to 
be seen to at the time of our departure* that a great deal had to be 
shoved to one side. Moreover I had to keep pretty quiet about my 
destination, since young William? was also over there and I didn’t 
want my pleasure marred by police chicanery. 

Who is the present editor-in-chief of the Volkszeitung°? Tussy ran 
into Schewitsch at a meeting in London and he told her he had heard 
in New York that I had spoken about him in very spiteful terms. 
That, however, is absolutely untrue. Might it have originated from 
A. Jonas? 

The little students’ revolt in Germany !* was quickly broken up by 
Bebel. One very good thing about it was that it showed what we have 
to expect from literati and Berliners.
