MARX TO WILLIAM CYPLES” 

[Draft] 
{London,] 22 July 1856 

Dear Sir, 

I write again myself to show that I bear not the least ill will 
against you for which, indeed, there would be no cause. In your 

4 K. Marx, Revelations of the Diplomatic History of the 18th Century.- > This 
paragraph is crossed out in the original. - © Here the following passage is crossed

letter d.d. July 19,* you say: ‘It could not be satisfactory etc.’ Now 
as to my own satisfaction please to leave it altogether out of the 
question. As to Mr Ironside’s ‘satisfaction’ I’ll quote you the exact 
words of his ‘note’.” Having told you, that already the first article 
had ‘overdosed’ him, he continues as follows: 

‘They’ (Dr Marx’s articles) ‘are entombing the paper. This must not be. They 

must be brought to a close forthwith, You must not have more than two more 
doses—this week.and the next. You had better write him at once to that effect’ 

I positively decline making myself guilty of manslaughter by 
administering another ‘dose’ to Mr Isaac Ironside and ‘entombing’ 
him in the sheets of his own paper. 

Yours etc. 
Dr K. M.
