[London, 16 April 1869] 

E.=Eichhoff-—B.=Borkheim.**”’ I had written to Wilhelm *™ 
saying he should cease his malicious chatter and _ scribbling 
directed against Eichhoff, since Borkheim himself has now 
recognised his error. Wilhelm, of course, does not know that I 
know his own insinuations against Eichhoff from Kugelmann and 
op Becker.) 

Did you receive the Lafargue manuscript?’ It is not noted in 
today’s letter from you. 

Apropos: Hermann is now Stieber’s official organ. Juch was 
forced to sell it, because of his ‘diverse’ creditors. In today’s issue, 
Stieber starts right away by printing, on the first page, warrant 
notices, e.g., against the so-and-so Jaeger for illicit abortion of the 
foetus. Stieber is naturally represented here by a National-Liberal 
‘sub-Stieber’. I shall hunt out the carefully ‘hushed-up’ name.‘ 

With regard to the eye: try washing it with alcohol. This helped 
me. To begin with it hurts a bit. For the first attempt, dilute the 
alcohol a bit with water. That will show you how much you can 
stand it. Anyway, trying can’t hurt. 

Salut.
