[London,] 9 March 1870 

Dear Fred, 

Enclosed—2 copies of the Internationale. You don’t need to 
return them, since they have sent me 5 copigs OF EACH NUMBER. 

In No. II there is nothing by me, except for translation of the 
racts from The Irishman.5° 

As to No. I, I had written it quickly to De Paepe as a private 
letter for him to work up into an article. Instead, he published it 
verbatim,” adding nonsensical clauses, e.g., that the sopity punish- 

a K. Marx, The English Government and the Fenian Prisoners. 

ment of O’Donovan should be understood as—lashes with a whip! 

Have you read the stuff by Huxley about the lack of difference 
between Ancto-Saxon (vulgo Encuisamen) and Crit?°” He is giving 
his 2nd lecture on the subject next Sunday. Lrrrie Dakyns has sent 
us tickets for this. 

We are much pistursep here about the silence of the Parisians* 
since the notice of death.” Let’s hope there has been no new 
misfortune. 

Strohn was here the day before yesterday, and left for the 
Continent the same day. 

Salut. 
Your 
K. M.
