MARX TO FRIEDRICH LESSNER[1]

IN LONDON

[London,] 14 February 1866

Dear Lessner,

You will see what the matter is from the enclosed letter from Freiligrath. Please do what you can.

Salut.

Your

K. M.

I cannot find Freiligrath's letter. His wife will give you the details about Ulmer's situation. His wife has died, and he has no money to bury her. Our Society[2] must therefore do something at once. You must send the money to Freiligrath.
