{[London,] 26 March 1870 

Dear Kugelmann, 

I am only writing you a few lines today, since a Frenchman has 
arrived, just at the moment when I was getting ready to 
correspond again with you after such a long period. I shall not get 
rid of the fellow this afternoon, and the post goes at 5.30. 

Tomorrow, however, is Sunday, when a good Christian like 
myself is allowed to interrupt his work and write to you at greater 
length, particularly about the Russian casus, which has taken a 
pretty turn. 

Jennychen, ovr m1ustrious J. Williams,” has quite a good edition 
of Father Goethe." By THe aye, she was recently invited to Madame 
Vivanti's, the wife of a rich Italian merchant. There was a great 
assemblée, including a number of English people. Jennychen had a 
furibundus” success with a Shakespeare declamation. 

Je te prie de saluer Madame la comtesse‘ de ma part et de la remercier

des lignes aimables qu'elle a bien voulues m’adresser. Elle n’a pas la 
moindre raison de regretter d’avoir préféré le latin au frangais.° Cela ne 
révéle pas seulement un gotit classique et hautement développé, mais 
explique encore pourquoi Madame ne se trouve jamais au bout de son 
latin? 

And best greetings to Franzchen.
