[London,} 12 July 1875 
Dear Citizen, 

You have done me a great service in telling me all about the 
affair. I shall at once write to M. Lahure, asking him to let me 
have an unequivocal reply.’” 

In the meantime, perhaps you would be so kind as to send me 
the name and address of that managerial Cerberus,’ as also the 
address of a lawyer to whom I might have recourse should need 
arise. 

If the French government wants a rumpus, I have sufficient 
contacts with the European press to do it signal service in that 
respect. 

Yours very sincerely, 

K. Marx?
