London, 30 September 1875 

Dear Kraus, 

May I most heartily commend to you my friend Leo Frankel, the 
bearer of these lines and a former member of the Paris 
Commune. I enclose another photograph, since the first was a 
poor one. I should be grateful if you could let me have your 
compendium of the new medical sciences.* You would already 
have received the French edition of Capital, had not the 
publication of the last instalments been delayed and obstructed by 
the French police.” It’s bound to appear some day. 

With best wishes from myself and daughter Eleanor, 

Yours, 
Karl Marx
