Brussels, [24 March 1845] 
rue Pachecho vis-a-vis 
de Vhépital St. Jean, No. 35 

Dear Heine, 

If I write you no more than a few lines today, you must excuse 
me on the grounds of the multifarious vexations I have had with 
the Customs. 

Püttmann in Cologne has requested me to ask you if you 
couldnt possibly send a few poems (perhaps also your German 

fleet?)* for the Jahrbuch in Darmstadt, a periodical not subject to 
censorship. You can address the material to me. The latest 
date—but you'll probably have something immediately to hand— 
is 3 weeks hence. My wife sends her cordial regards to yourself 
and your wife.“ The day before yesterday’ I went to the local 
Administration de Ja sureté publique,“ where I had to state in 
writing that here in Belgium [I would publish nothing about 
current politics. 

Renouard and Bornstein have had your Wintermarchen printed 
in Paris, New York being given as the place of publication, and 
have offered it for sale here in Brussels. This pirated edition is 
said, in addition, to be teeming with printer’s errors. More another 
time. 

Yours 
Marx
