[London,] 3 August 1886 

Interview °°° received with thanks; amused me greatly. Of course 
the idiot* puts into my mouth all the silly things he himself said. Com- 
monweal, 1 May-17 July, will follow in 2 parcels tomorrow. I now get 
them through Lessner at intervals, but complete. To-Day will follow 
as soon as I have got the July no. which is still missing. 

Translation of ms. ° will be finished the day after tomorrow and last 
part handed over to publishers.‘ 320 pages have been printed, almost 
the same as 3rd German edition. Hope it will be finished by end of 
September and published in October. Am also going to the seaside 
this Saturday, hope it will do us both and also your wife good. 

Your 
F.E.
