London, 27 September 1875 
41 Maitland Park Road, N. W. 
Dear Imandt, 

I was very glad to hear from you again at last. 

I have only just arrived back from taking the cure at 
Karlsbad.'* It has done me a great deal of good and is also the 
reason why I didn’t know about the article that was sent to me.'”” I 
imagine it originates from Barry, a very fanatical Scottish party 
member. The article in Fraser’s (to which Eccarius, Hales, 
Mottershead, Jung contributed their share—chaps now in very 
low water) stems from a deplorable novelist, Mrs Betham- 
Edwards’ who relates, e.g., that my anti-Proudhon piece? is a 
short chapter in Capital. 

Printing of the French edition of the latter (the last three 
FASCICLES in particular heavily revised by me) has been constantly 
disrupted by the French government. The last three instalments, which 
were set more than six months ago, are finally to be allowed to 
leave the press. I shall send them to you on receipt of the same. 

Kaub and Dr C. Hirsch, who have come over from Paris for a 
few days, tell me that things are going ill with our old friend 
Schily (he is still living at 4 rue St Quentin); to begin with, there 
had been trouble for years between him and his better half, health 
ruined, lost most of his German clients through their having to 
leave Paris after the catastrophe,* has grown morose, francophobe 
and somewhat conservative. He could probably do well for himself 
in Strasbourg, but is rightly too proud to petition the Prussians. 

In Germany I found much disenchantment, even among the 
philistines, following the sorry outcome of the milliards windfall.’"* 

The whole family send their warmest regards. Drop us a line 
again soon. 

Salut. 
Your 
K. M.
