My one and only Sweetheart, 

This morning, at the same time as your letter, I received a note 
from Frederic* containing 15 talers for Lenchen.” Acknowledge : 
as he is most meticulous in such matters. More tomorrow; today I 
have the «sorta. Coier here in the room with me and am 
keeping him in check by saying *‘I am obliged to write some lines 
to Mrs Marx’*. 

Lity-woite Sanpy is settled in REALITY, NOt IN FANCY. 

Much though I hanker after you and the children—and this 
quite indescribably—I should like you to stay on in Trier for another 
week. It would do you and the children no end of good. More 
tomorrow. 

Your 
K. M. 

P.S. The Urquhartites are being damned importunate.© A good 
thing financially. But I don’t know whether, pourricatty, I ought to 
get too involved with the fellows. A thousand kisses, my beloved 
sweetheart. 

P.S.II. Lina has got the famous post. Won’t be taking it up for 
weeks yet. 

It’s ghastly for me, having to play the man of fashion chez 
Liebknecht now. Hancoir: On top of that, I have Pieper sleeping 
with me in your stead. Florria.e. In the same room, at any rate. 
Engels is coming next week.” That’s a relief. For 3 weeks I’ve been as 
hypochondriacal as the devil.
