MARX TO THOMAS ALLSOP

IN EXMOUTH (DEVON)

[Postcard]

[London,] 28 April 1878

My dear and honoured Friend,

Mrs Marx is continually changing, sometimes up, then again down. As soon as the weather becomes more congenial, she must, of course, leave London.

Meanwhile we all hope to enjoy soon the pleasure to see you here.

I have received a whole lot of latest 'Russian' publications from Petersburg.[1] They bear witness to a great internal commotion.[2]

Bismarck seems to break rapidly down, bodily and otherwise.

Yours most devotedly,

K. M.
