Bad Neuenahr,*” 25 August 1877 
Hotel Flora 

Dear Professor Delius, 

My daughter Eleanor, who is with me here taking the waters, 
had the privilege of translating into English, for the London 
Shakespeare Society, one of your papers on the epic element in 
Shakespeare,”' and would very much like to make your acquaint- 
ance in person. If it would be convenient to you to name a day 
and time at which we might meet, I should be glad to introduce 
my daughter to you. 

I am, Sir, 

Your most obedient Servant, 
Karl Marx 

We shall probably be spending another 8 or 9 days here before, 
WIND AND WEATHER PERMITTING, Moving on to the Black Forest.
