[Eastbourne,] 21 August 1883 

Dear Liebknecht, 

Your letter °° has remained unanswered because of final work on 
the 3rd edition,* after which I came to stay here at 

4 Cavendish Place, Eastbourne, England where I intend to remain 
until about 12 September.? 

Mrs Marx died on 2 December 1881, Jenny on 9 January 1883. 
Both deaths were reported in the Sozialdemokrat.” 

The Paris Vorwdrts! was a little sheet which is now being accorded 
more importance than it deserves; the editors were a dilatory lot. 
Marx’s main concern was to keep it on the right lines and from time 
to time he also wrote polemical articles and reviews attacking the 
Prussians.° Heine sent Marx some of the advance proofs of the Winter- 
mdrchen from Hamburg for publication in the Vorwdrts! before the 
book appeared in Germany. 

I actually only set eyes on a few numbers and the little paper 
did not survive for long, so I cannot let you have any further de- 
tails. 

Marx wrote quite a lot of things for the Deutsche-Briisseler-Zeitung, 
including a polemical discourse against Heinzen.“ 

Bebel’s letter safely received; will be answered from here‘; along 
with all the other correspondence, have been unable to attend to it 
because of overwork. Tell Bebel that Schorlemmer, who is here, will 
be going to Darmstadt shortly and staying there until about the mid- 
dle of September. If Bebel is visiting those parts before then, Schor- 
lemmer would like him to let him know (Prof. Schorlemmer, Darm- 
@ the third German edition of Volume I of Capital- F. Engels, ‘Jenny Marx, née 
von Westphalen’; ‘Jenny Longuet, née Marx’.-° K. Marx, ‘Critical Marginal Notes on 
the Article “The King of Prussia and Social Reform. By a Prussian”’; ‘Illustrations of 
the Latest Exercise in Cabinet Style of Frederick William IV’.-“ K. Marx, ‘Mora- 

lising Criticism and Critical Morality. A Contribution-to German Cultural His- 
tory. Contra Karl Heinzen’.-° See this volume, pp. 52-55. 

stadt is sufficient address) and tell him where Schorlemmer can meet 
him; in which case he will do his utmost to look him up. 
Lafargue finished half his time today.
