MARX TO MALTMAN BARRY

IN LONDON

[Neuenahr,] 15 August 1877

Dear Barry,

My address is: Dr K. Marx, Hotel Flora, Neuenahr, Rhenish Prussia. Neuenahr is the name of the village, this watering place not pretending to the dignity even of a market town. It is quite separated from the outer world; no railways within the boundaries of the valley of the Ahr.

I have seen from the Times—in the reading room of the

Kurhaus[1] —that you have published an advertisement relating to action in the oriental affair.[2] Please inform me of the progress you make in that line.

Yours truly,

K. M.

Be so kind as to cash the enclosed cheque for 40£ St. and to forward it to me, in the form of two Twenty Pound Notes (Bank of England Notes, of course), in a registered letter, via Ostend, under the above address. I write again the name of the village: Neuenahr (Hotel Flora is the name of the house where I live).

  2. ↑ In 'The War in the East' column, The Times, No. 29018 of 11 August 1877, carried an advertisement signed by Maltman Barry and dated 10 August. It related to the meeting scheduled for 13 August and a demonstration in support of Turkey and in protest against Russia's Eastern policies.
