Karlsbad, 12 September 1876 
Germania 

Dear Friend, 

I’m most grateful to you for your kind concern; fortunately my 
daughter* has completely recovered; mais elle l’a échappé belle.” She 

 Eleanor Marx - > but she had a narrow squeak 

was on the brink of pneumonia; speedy action by Dr Fleckles jun., 
her doctor, saved her from a long and dangerous illness. 

As a result of this contingency, however, we shall have to stay 
here until Friday* for her to undergo after-treatment. We shall 
leave Karlsbad at 10.47 and arrive in Prague (State Railway 
Station) at 5.50 in the afternoon. 

So until we meet again, 

Yours very sincerely, 

Karl Marx
