MARX TO PAUL AND LAURA LAFARGUE

IN PARIS

London, 18 October 1869

My dear Paul and Laura,

I send you to-day the manuscript of Mr Keller.[5] I cannot find his address. So you must through the aid of Schily get it out from M. Hess.

Tell Mr Keller that he shall go on. On the whole, I am satisfied with his translation, although it lacks elegance and is done in too negligent a way.

  1. On December 2, 1851 a counter-revolutionary coup d'état in France was carried out by Louis Bonaparte and his adherents. — 95, 99, 120, 254, 264, 287, 393, 653
  2. Gertrud Kugelmann
  3. Franziska Kugelmann
  4. Charles Étienne Lafargue
  5. The reference to Keller's manuscript likely pertains to a translation project involving Marx's writings, though specific details are not provided in the text.
