MARX TO COLLET DOBSON COLLET[1]

IN LONDON

[Draft] [London, after 10 June 1857]

Dear Sir,

Having myself not made up, but only copied the account forwarded to you, I felt, on receiving your note, very anxious, indeed, lest my claims should have been overstated. Consequently,

I reexamined the reckonings. The case is simply this, that you make 222/3 columns, that you have omitted No. 34,[2] and that the only mistake on my part consists in having put down 4 columns for No. 34, which really amounts to 51/2 columns.

Yours truly

K. Marx

D. Collet, Esq.
