23 October 1869. Dear Fred, Many thanks for the photograms. I ditto suffering from a severe influenza. I have already ordered A. Young, and shall write to the same man (Adams) also about the Wakefield. According to Lafargue’s letter, great excitement prevails in Paris. From Petersburg they have sent me a thick volume of 500 pages on the condition of the Russian peasants and workers, by Flerovsky. Unfortunately in Russian. The man worked on the book for 15 years. The great Bakunin now off to Naples, as a delegate to an atheist congress which is being staged there against the ecumenical council. Salut Yours K. M.
