[London,] 15 August 1872 

Dear Sir, 

According to a letter from Mr Lachatre which reached me 
yesterday, I am in future to send the proofs* to Mr Lahure.** 
However, Mr Lachatre forgot to let me have Mr Lahure’s address, 
which is why I am writing you this note. 

Last week I despatched to Mr Dervaux, at the last address he 
had given me—34 Rue Fontaine, Quartier St Georges—the 
manuscript of Section II. He has not yet acknowledged receipt. 

On Monday last” I sent him the final proof of instalment 6, 
which I had marked ready for press (after having made the few 
corrections indicated). 

I hope that everything has reached the publisher’s. If you have 
received No. 6 and made the corrections, I authorise you, as 
requested by Mr Lachatre, to print instalments | to 6 straightaway. 

Perhaps you would be good enough to reply by return of post. 

Yours very faithfully, 

Karl Marx
