I Dear Moor,

Enclosed postal order for £5 payable at Camden Town. Beta is the greatest filthy swine I have ever come across. The trashy article has put me in a real rage. Unfortunately the fellow is already such a cripple that one cannot beat him any lamer; nevertheless, this dog must yet have personal vengeance taken on him once. It is always a satisfaction, however, that the beautiful soul Kinkel cannot help finding his complement in such a filthy pig. What a series of mole-like cripples, developed by Darwinian natural selection to the highest degree of fitness for dung-existence, electing shit as their life element, is required before a single Bettziech could be produced. Impudent dung-lies and impotent viciousness, these are the aids with which the evil conscience of the mendacious priest Kinkel attempts to keep itself on its feet. Let us get these fellows once face to face again, and you shall see where the pack of scoundrels gets to.

By the way, the Darwin which I am now reading is quite splendid. Teleology had not yet been demolished from one side; that has now happened. Moreover, never before has so grand an attempt been made to demonstrate historical development in nature, and least of all with such success. One must of course put up with the clumsy English method.

Give my warm regards to your wife and children.

Your
