London, 26 April 1856 
28 Dean Street, Soho 

Dear Frederic, 

Enclosed you will find 

J]. 2 Kars papers, third and final instalments.* 

2. An article on the Duke of York? which I gave Jones, and in 
which I imitate ovp Cobbett’s manner tant bien que mal. Sent 
especially for Lupus’ information. 

3. The speech made by Frost, the old Chartist, in New York.‘ 

4. A letter from Miquel. This last to be returned. For I have not 
yet replied, as I should like to have your detailed ‘opinion’ before 
doing so. It’s a somewhat ticklish matter. ‘Questions, sometimes 
insidious’,“ and when replying it is difficult to know how far one 
can properly go.” 

Que dites-vous du discours de M. de Walewski? Everyone in 
London is furious with the Government and even the shopkeepers are 
mouthing revolutionary slogans. 

If you can, send Pieper something. It is now possible that he will 
get a job as correcroron The People’s Paper. All I can do now is 
keep him in commons. I have taken him seriously to task for his 
silly antics, which have landed him on the streets again. I could tell 
you a thing or two about politics down here, but to do so by post 
might be risky. 

The news from Paris in today’s Advertiser contains a brief but 
interesting report on an action brought against some members of 
Marianne *’; they’re conducting themselves splendidly. 

In the Presse (Paris) some edifying aspersions on Bonaparte’s 

a K. Marx, The Fall of Kars, Articles [1] and IV - » K. Marx, ‘The House of Lords 
and the Duke of York’s Monument’.- ¢ after a fashion - 4 The People’s Paper, No. 208, 
26 April 1856 - ¢ H. Heine, Deutschland. Ein Wintermarchen, Chapter 20. - £ What do 
you say to M. de Walewski’s speech? (The speech was reported in The Times, No. 
22352, 26 April 1856.) 

législateur poete—Belmontet—by Pelletan, in which the latter has 
so insulted the ‘empereur’* that he will probably be expelled. 

Salut. Your 

K. M.
