London, 26 June 1868? 

Dear Fred, 

Best THANKs For £10. 

The business with the children is going relatively well. (Tus- 
sychen was very pleased with your letter.“) Our doctor is our 
neighbour, the Irishman Dr Korklow, who is known in the 
neighbourhood particularly as a scarlet-fever doctor (also in the 
school which my children attended). In case of need, i.e. as soon 
as there is the slightest disquieting change, Lafargue will bring a 
doctor from his hospital. So far this has not been necessary. 

© J868 is not in Mayx’s handwrinng. 

I would appreciate it if you could send me a bit more money, 
since the major part of the £20 had to be spent to partly pay off 
the most urgent small debts. 

Lafargue has told Beesly that 1 article is pending."’ Beesly says it 
must come in good time to find a place in the August number.’ 

My head is naturally in turmoil. Since I can do nothing serious, I 
am writing up the stuff for Eichhoff.” It will go off tomorrow. 

Salut.

Jennychen told Tussy that she had turned from her former 
higher Chinese character into a Localised (Irish) BEING and was 
therefore no longer showing due respect to the Emperor.“ Tussy 
replied: Formerty I clung To a MAN, Now I cling TO A NATION.
