MARX TO VICTOR LE LUBEZ^[1]

IN LONDON

Manchester, 14 June 1870
86 Mornington Street, Stockport Road

[Draft]

Sir,

Yours dd. 11 June has been sent me from London. I want now to be informed by you who is the informer that gave you the absurd information that I am the London Correspondent of the Volksstaat and the author of an Article on your person. Allow me to observe that my time is spent on subjects of a more general interest.

I am Sir

Yours etc.

K. M. Mr Le Lubez.

↑ This is Marx's reply to Le Lubez' letter of 11 June, in which he asked whether Marx was the author of the item 'Aus England' carried by Der Volksstaat on 11 May 1870. It exposed the provocative activities of the so-called French Section in London and especially its action on behalf of the International at the banquet for Flourens given in London on 3 May 1870 (see Note 640).
