MARX TO ENGELS

IN LONDON

[Ventnor,] 18 December 1882

DEAR FRED,

I return the ms.;[1] very good! The doctor[2] has just left; I can't say that I notice any PROGRESS, rather the reverse. Though not cold out of doors, it is damp and rainy and the doctor says he cannot allow me to go out until the next fine day; otherwise he wouldn't accept the responsibility.

Au diable! il faut patienter![3] Salut.
