[London] 25 October 1854  
28, Dean Street, Soho

Dear Frederic,

Enclosed letter from Cluß.

Schnauffer is dead.

Pieper is resident master¹ in the neighbourhood of London, Eltham, Kent, servant for all work?²

If you come on Friday with militaribus,³ very good. It is time to reason properly about the allied conduct of the war.

The affair with Mademoiselle Bürgers is very comical. — You already knew that before her departure from Cologne she took along a child of which she gave out Lassalle as the father.

The post is going, therefore

Vale?⁴

Your  
K.
