Ramsgate, 2 August 1874

My dear Jenny, 

I was sorry I did not see you again before my return and now 
write to you to remind you of your promise to come over here for 
a short time.*? We are staying here till Tuesday fortnight and can 
accommodate you any day. After all you have gone through both 
bodily and mentally during these last weeks, it is absolutely 
necessary for you to have some change of air and change of scene, 
and I am sure you require the seaside quite as much as Mohr and 
Tussy require Karlsbad. Do take me for your doctor for the nonce 
and let me prescribe a short term of sea air for you. The sooner 
you come the better it will be for you. Mrs E.* was quite vexed I 
had not brought you with me there and then. She and Pumps 
send their loves to you. 

Please remember me to Longuet and believe me yours ever 
faithfully and affectionately 

F. Engels
