MARX TO P. VAN DER WILLIGEN >” 

London, 4 October 1872 

Dear Sir, 

My best thanks for your pamphlet.” 
The report of the Hague Congress will not appear for some 
little while, whereupon I shall send you a copy. 

a Lydia Burns - > v.d.W. [van der Willigen, P.] De Internationale en de Parijsche 
Commune van 1871. 

Enclosed the first instalment of the French translation of my 
book, Das Kapital.** 1 am sending you at the same time the 
4 instalments of the 2nd German edition that have appeared so 
far. 

You must excuse me for not having replied any sooner to your 
various letters, the reasons being a complete lack of time and a 
surfeit of work. I shall be pleased to see you at my place one 
evening (e.g. Wednesday) next week. 

Yours very sincerely, 

Karl Marx
