London, 12 August 1873 

N. Danielson, Esq. 

My dear Sir, 

I have since months suffered severely, and found myself, for 
some time, even in a dangerous state of illness, consequent upon 
overwork. My head was so seriously affected, that a paralytic strike 
was to be apprehended, and even now I am not yet able to work 
more than a few hours. This is the only reason why I have not 
before acknowledged, and thanked you for, the precious collection 
of books you were so kind as to send me.””° 

You will have received—at least I read your last letter in that 
sense—-3 copies of Das Kapital in one volume. I send you to-day 
the last livraison? of the Heftedition.”'* 

We are publishing the Revelations on the Alliance you know 
the sect of teetotallers call themselves thus in England 721) and 
want to know the cheapest way to send you a somewhat large 
number of copies. A letter relative to the chief? of that 
sanctimonious people is still held in reserve.*“ 

I thank you much for your last long letter and shall make 
proper use of it. It is of great commercial value for myself.”

Yours most truly, 
A. Williams *
