MARX TO FRIEDRICH ADOLPH SORGE

IN HOBOKEN

[London,] 5 November 1880

IN HASTE

Dear Sorge,

I had just sent off a longish letter to you[1] when, after the event — postfestum but not before the post office closed — another point occurred to me in connection with that poor devil Borkheim. Last summer, when I went from Ramsgate to see him in Hastings, where I found him ill in bed, he requested me to ask you to dun a certain Francis Murhard (215 Washington Street, Hoboken). This man owes our friend Borkheim some money — £10 if I remember aright — which he lent Murhard for the journey to America and in respect of which he possesses a promissory note.

Salut.

Your

K.M.
