London, 18 October 1869 

My dear Paul and Laura, 

I send you to-day the manuscript of Mr Keller.**! I cannot find 
his address. So you must through the aid of Schily get it out from 
M. Hess. 

Tell Mr Keller that he shall go on. On the whole, I am satisfied 
with his translation, although it lacks elegance and is done in too 
negligent a way. 

a Gertrud Kugelmann - > Franziska Kugelmann - ¢ Charles Etienne Lafargue 

He will do best to send me every chapter through you. As to 
chapter IV I shall subdivide it.*” 

The changes I have made in this chapter II need not be 
maintained, but they show the direction in which I want the 
corrections to be made. 

As to the word ‘Verwertung’* see my note p. 12 of his 
manuscript. He must make a note on it for the French reader. 

I doubt whether the frequent large printing of words will do for 
French printers. 

In German we use the word ‘Process’ (proces) for economical 
movements, as you say chemical procés, st je ne me trompe pas. >He 
translates by ‘phenomena’ which is nonsense. If he can find no 
other word, he must always translate by ‘mouvement’ or 
something analogous. 

Kiss dear Schnappy on my behalf. 

Yours 
Old Nick 

I have received a letter from St Petersbourg. A Russian sends 
me his work (in German‘) on the situation of the peasantry and 
the working class generally in that benighted country.**
