MARX TO VALERIAN SMIRNOV[1]

IN LONDON

[London,] 29 March 1878
41 Maitland Park Road, N. W.

Dear Smirnov,

I take it that you are still editor of the Vperyod!,[2] and therefore that this note will find you at the address I have selected.

Party friends in Paris have asked me for information about two agitators within our societies in Paris, namely a Prince Kropotkin' and a lady, one Kulishova', a particular friend of Costa's.

Do you, perhaps, know anything about these individuals from the political aspect?

Yours very faithfully,

Karl Marx
