[London,] 10 Marcu [1865] 

Dear Frep, 

I can only write these few lines today, as I have much else to do. 

The statement from Herwegh and Riistow* is good. The 
impudence of Mr Schweitzer, who knows perfectly well that all I 
need to do is publish his own letters, is fantastic. Though what else 
can the wretched cur do? 

As you will already have guessed, the scrawl he quotes from the 
Neue Frankfurter Zeitung is from student ‘Blind’.'” I’m sending you 
the first No. of this ‘lackey’ of the deposed Kings of Democracy 
and Holloway-type ‘serrapverrisers’ and ‘purrers’. You must arrange 
for a few jokes about the fellow to reach Siebel, for him to hawk 
around to the various papers. 

By the by, if there should be a 2nd impression of your 
pamphlet,“ we can, in a short preface, make a brief official 
statement on our position with regard to the  Lassalle 
shit and the Social-Demokrat. It would be, of course, beneath our 
dignity to take up the cudgels directly with that gang of riff-raff in 
minor journals. 

Salut. 
Your 
K. M.
