DEAR Frederic,

I am at this moment dictating an article on Persia.[1] Hence no more than a line or two. Your £5 received. Could you possibly send me some military stuff on Switzerland before the week is out, for that is what's holding me up and preventing me from getting on with my articles. Will write at greater length very shortly.

Your

K. M.


Ruge is publishing:

1. Stories of the Chase for Children.[2]

2. Philosophical considerations on the religion of Ancient Egypt. He told this to Blind, who on the same occasion discovered that Papa Ruge hadn't so much as heard of Röth's book[3] .

  1. ↑ K. Marx, 'The Anglo-Persian War'.
  2. ↑ A. Ruge, Jagden und Tiergeschichte für Kinder.
  3. ↑ E. Roth, Geschichte unserer abendländischen Philosophie. Bd. 1: Die ägyptische und zoroastrische Glaubenslehre als die ältesten Quellen unserer speculativen Ideen.
