Dear Fred,
I am acknowledging the receipt (yesterday) of both second halves.
Thanks, ditto, for the two little books of Schorlemmer.[1]
The children are getting along well. Yesterday they were up for part of the day, and Jennychen was even downstairs in the parlour. The doctor[2] is now coming only every second day. Therefore he was not here yesterday, and I still await him today.
In today's Hermann the reception for Freiligrath in Cologne. Cups, etc. Nothing better than the quid pro quo to the effect that Freiligrath changed his seat 9 times, with the hint that this change was politically motivated!
Orsini's brother[3] is here again. He is accused of having betrayed the Fenians,[4] whose agent he was. His accuser is Colonel Nagle and the French landlady in whose house he lived here at that time (at the time of the Fenian unrest and before he left for the UNITED STATES). His methods of exonerating himself are reminiscent of Bangya and he will clear out of London as soon as possible. Beust's action with the Czechs does not appear clear.[5]
Salut.
Your
Moor
