MARX TO PYOTR LAVROV[1]

IN LONDON

[London, 27 March 1877]

My dear Friend,

Could you let me have Ignatiyev's Christian name, ditto a few details about his family and the man himself. As regards his political exploits, I am pretty well informed about them.

There has been a fine old mercantile and financial collapse in Moscow.

Yours ever,

K. M.
