Dear Marx,

I doubt whether yesterday’s article* reached you soon enough.
When I went to the post it had just turned midnight and the sox
was closed, so I dropped it in the Extra sox, which means it must
have left here at 9.15 this morning and arrived in London at 3:45,
hence been delivered to you at about 6 o'clock.

About a month ago there was a share crash in Vienna, on which
occasion 105 houses are said to have failed there to the tune of
Fl. 14,000,000, or £1,400,000.

Nothing has been done here today. Tomorrow you will receive a
whole bundle of Guardians and also some money from me, I
hope.

Your
F. E.
