[Ventnor,] 20 November 1882 

Dear Frep, 

By the end of this week (i.e. next Monday, 27 November) I shall be 
on my uppers. As J am supposed to advise you a week beforehand, 

* Die Neue Zeit-> See this volume, pp. 324-25.-° to Louise Strasser 

I am now doing so. Before leaving London I paid asour £5 to the 
PARLIAMENTARY BOOKSELLER St. King and asout £2 to Kolkmann (book- 
seller), but also spent £3 on sundry items. 

Tussy and Johnny left me at asour 3 octock today in passable 
weather. 

I am perturbed over the news from Paris; it’s unpardonable that 
Lafargue, Guesde, etc., should permit themselves to be caught up in 
legal proceedings *#°; it could have been foreseen; the whole thing 
was simply occasioned by ‘anxiety’ over competition from the 
‘anarchists’! Puerile! 

Salut. 
Your 
K.M.
