Manchester, 27 March 1866 

Dear Moor, 

I had just made up my mind to write you a letter of 
congratulations on what I inferred from your silence to be your 

@ from Johann Carl Juta (Marx presumably refers to the power of attorney for 
receiving his share of legacy at the death of his aunt, Esther Kosel; see this volume, 
p. 194) - > Lizzy Burns 

conscientious abstinence from work, when your letter arrived. It 
reassured me not a little, as I was beginning to suspect that another 
carbuncle might be the reason for your obstinate silence. You 
must keep taking plenty of exercise and continue visiting the 
archbishop in Canterbury per pedes,? that is the sure way to 
eradicate it once and for all. In this case, and in others, too, the 
most important thing is to endure the boredom of the seaside for 
long enough; if you can, you should stay there for the whole of 
April, so that the trouble can be completely cured. 

Old Hill has just come and interrupted me. So I must break off 
for today. The £10 encl.
