MARX TO ENGELS

AT BRIDLINGTON QUAY

[Argenteuil,] 16 August 1881

DEAR Engels,

We shall have to leave tomorrow, as I have received a letter from Miss Maitland[1] saying that Tussy is * very ill, will not allow Miss Maitland to attend her any longer, has called no doctor,* etc. Len- chen will possibly, indeed probably, have to accompany Mama to London; I shall have to set off at once (i. e. TO-MORROW and then carry on non-stop).

Your

K. M.

I at once wrote to Dr Donkin about Tussy; however he may no longer be in London.
