MARX TO HERMANN JUNG

IN LONDON

[London,] 19 October 1871

Dear Jung,

In my opinion Forestier ought to have £4 instead of £3. In case of a man who is compromised care must be taken that during his travel he gets not into trouble by an empty purse.

Please to write to Outine (to be handed over to him by Forestier) a few lines, requesting him

[1]

1) to send me (in a registered letter) the passport he has promised to me;

2) Request him to inform me immediately whether he knows anything about the new Slavonian branch at Zurich.*[2] Under the names signed by them I find A. Dubov, Kasper Turski, Emanuel Ervacanin.[3]

Yours fraternally,

Karl Marx
