MARX TO KARL BLIND

IN LONDON

[London,] 26 September 1853 28 Dean Street, Soho Dear Blind,

My wife and I were surprised to hear about that piece of infamy in Baden,[1] although one could hardly expect anything good to come from such a quarter. You may be assured of our deepest concern regarding all matters affecting you and FAMILY.

Quant à[2] Jones, I fear he has gone away. I haven't seen him for weeks. However, I shall try and find out this very day whether or not and whether he received your letter. More about this tomorrow, I hope. Kind regards from my family to yours.

Your

K. Marx

I should have come out to see you long ago had not a mass of petites misères[3] invariably intervened.
