MARX TO FREDERIC HARRISON

IN LONDON

[London,] 21 January 1877
41 Maitland Park Crescent, N. W.

Dear Sir,

The bearer of this letter, my nephew, Mr Henry Juta of Cape Town, wants to complete his general studies at the London University, and, at the same time, to become a member of the Inner Temple.[1] For the latter purpose he has to sign a paper stating that he is no attorney etc. and his own signature has to be

countersigned by two barristers attesting that he is a proper person etc. As the affair is very pressing, I have taken the liberty to direct him to you in the hope that you will be so kind as to instruct the young man how to find his way out of this difficulty. I have the honour, Sir, to be

Yours sincerely

Karl Marx

Fd. Harrison, Esq.

  1. ↑ The Inner Temple—one of the Inns of Court in London, four legal societies having exclusive right of admitting persons to practise at bar.
