MARX TO ENGELS?” 
[London,] 25 February 1867 
Dear Frep, 

Best THANKS For £20. 

Letter from Dr Kugelmann enclosed.*” 

At this moment, I can only write you these few lines as the 
LANDLORD'S AGENT is here and I have to act the part of Mercadet in 

« the first volume of Capital 

Balzac’s comedy? for his benefit. Apropos Balzac, I advise you to 
read Le Chef-d’Quvre Inconnu and Melmoth réconcilié. They are two 
little chefs d’euvres, full of the most delightful irony. 

Salut. 

Your 
K. M.
