London, 10 April 1865 

My dear Countess, 

I shall be obliged if you would hand the copy of the ‘18th 
Brumaire’ with my marginal amendments, i.e., corrections, to Mr 
Wilhelm Liebknecht.” 

I have read Becker’s* attacks on you with the greatest 
indignation, and, to judge from letters I have received from 
people of the most divergent views, the scoundrel has thereby 
generally done harm not to you, but only to himself. I am in 
entire agreement with Mr Riistow that it is incomprehensible that 
any section of the Association of German Workers could calmly 
listen to such scandalous talk. The most elementary sense of 
decency should make such infamy impossible.'” 

Yours most respectfully 

Karl Marx
