MARX TO CARL HIRSCH

IN PARIS

Argenteuil, 6 August[1] 1881
11 Boulevard Thiers

Dear Hirsch,

I have been here for nearly a fortnight ' 6 4; haven't visited Paris or any of my acquaintances. My wife's condition has permitted neither the one nor the other.

Because of her growing weakness, it is possible that I shall have to leave much earlier than I originally planned and I therefore intend

(if NO ACCIDENT INTERFERES) tO C O m e tO P a r i s TOMORROW MORNING w i t h Lenchen and Johnny. I shall take a cab to your house and, if your time permits, count on your accompanying us. ' 7 ' Regards to Kaub.

Your

K. Marx
