MARX TO SIGFRID MEYER

IN BERLIN

[London,] 24 January 1866

Dear Friend,

At the same time as I sent the cards to you, I wrote a detailed letter to Mr Vogt.[1] I thought I was being very clever in using two different addresses. The only error I may possibly have committed is to have put No. 6 instead of 16 in Vogt's address.[2]

I should therefore be grateful if you would enquire at the Post Office and inform me of the results. Since I wrote to you,[3] a fresh carbuncle has developed in a spot that is very painful when I sit, so that after my daily labour of fair-copying my manuscript[4] for the publisher[5] I am extraordinarily exhausted.

Your

K. M.
