{London,] 25 November 1872 

My dear friend, 

The letter sent over to me has been duly received and has done 
its work.” 

If I have not written earlier, and if, even at this moment, I do 
not send but these few lines, it is because I want you to send me 
another— if possible— strictly commercial address under which I may 
write to you. 

In consequence of the extradition of Nechayev and the 
intrigues of his master Bakunin, I feel very anxious on your behalf 
and that of some other friends. Those men are able of every 
infamy. 

I cannot enough express my gratitude for the interest taken in 
my work and labours by you and other Russian friends.

Yours most sincerely 
A. Williams? 

Please reply to those lines as soon as possible.
