London, 4 October 1892 

Dear Kugelmann, 

Very many thanks for the little bit of Leibnitz. ' 

As regards Herr Vogt, please send one copy to Bebel and two to me, but if 
you yourself don’t possess another, it goes without saying that you should 
keep one and send only one to me. ” 

As regards The Knight of the Noble Consciousness and Palmerston, What 
Has He Done, I have unearthed one more copy of each and these are en- 
closed herewith. 

On the other hand I have only one copy of the Neue Rheinische Zeitung, 
but no loose issues, and only a few volumes of the Revue’; if I want a 
complete set I have to borrow it. You had better get Miquel to return you 
yours. After all he is the only one who might now be endangered by its 
possession and he’ll be grateful to you for taking it off his hands. However 
Volume I as well as other individual volumes occasionally crop up in 
second-hand booksellers’ catalogues. 

For the rest, I am keeping tolerably well. But if you are expecting an 
exhaustive pathological discourse on my somewhat complicated and no 
doubt also somewhat obscure case, I’m afraid I cannot oblige you. I am in 
correspondence with many doctors in 5 or 6 countries and all of them 
want the same sort of information. This would involve me in a medical 
correspondence more time consuming than my political correspondence, and 
that is absolutely out of the question. As it is, my work on Volume III is 
being hampered by the business matters I have to attend to, of which there 
are more than enough. So do please excuse me. The whole thing is not at all 
serious, but merely an occasional nuisance. With my best compliments to 
your wife and daughter. '°
