MARX TO EUGEN OSWALD

IN LONDON

[London,] 21 JULY [1871]

Dear Oswald,

I must once again pester you for a passport—one with a visa from the French Consulate. (The last one is already in Paris.)[1]

Through your efforts, you have already saved 6 people, and such a noble achievement is the best reward for your labours.

Yours in sincere friendship,

Karl Marx
