Dear Bracke, 

Lissagaray, who is otherwise completely in agreement with your 
draft contract, is firmly of the opinion that in every case the price 
(per copy) should be kept to the minimum quoted by you.™ 

So far as the free copies for himself are concerned, a dozen 
would amply suffice. 

Apropos! Miss Isolde Kurz has written to me, partly to say that 
she will be sending you the manuscript direct, while the 
proof-sheets would come to me from you (I have no objection), 
partly to ask for a further consignment of sheets from the 
original; the latter have now been sent her by Lissagaray. But 
notabene, Lissagaray has also made all manner of alterations to the 
introduction, additions (very important ones) to the French original, 
etc., so that nothing should be printed in Brunswick before Isolde has 
made corresponding modifications to the initial sheets she has already 
translated. Thus, should Isolde’s manuscript be already in Bruns- 
wick by the time my letter arrives, it should not be printed but 
returned to her for alteration. 

It goes without saying that the German edition will acquire extra 
value as a result of these alterations and additions made by the 
author himself. 

With kindest regards, 

Yours, 
K. Marx
