[London,] 3 August 1861 

Dear Frederick, 

This is to inform you in much haste that the £5 has been most 
gratefully received. 

An odious little sheet was sent to me _ yesterday entitled 
Thusnelda’—by Kinkel and Zerffi, attacking Heintzmann et cie. 
Rarely have I encountered such abysmally stupid juvenilia. 

The worthy Heinrich Burgers has made a pro-National Associa- 
tion** speech at the Gürzenich,”' and there was a general frisson 
of pleasure when he breathed the name of the noble man of 
Gotha.° 

Handsome William appears to be completely out of his mind. 
The fool is studying folio volumes on the coronation of Fred- 
erick I. 

I am sending you the Thusnelda herewith. Look after it for me. 

Also enclosed an article on the counting out or THE House ON THE 
OCCASION OF THE Danisn QuEstion.4 

Salut. 
Your 
K. M.
