MARX TO LUDWIG KUGELMANN” 

London, 24 June 1868 

Dear Friend, 

All sorts of incidents have prevented me from writing to you. 

Now, too, only a few lines. 

My eldest and youngest daughters* both have scarratina. I now 
recall that you spoke to me in Hanover” about a method of 
treatment as soon as the crisis has passed and the scaling process 
commences. Please be so kind as to explain this to me by return. 

With best greetings to your dear wife and Franzchen, 

Yours 
K. Marx 

Liebknecht is growing increasingly dull under the impact of the 
South German stupidity. He is not enough of a dialectician to 
criticise both sides at once.”
