MARX TO MINNA KAUTSKY

IN PARIS

London, 1 October 1881
41 Maitland Park Road, N. W.

Dear Madam,

I enclose herewith a note for my daughter.[1] Argenteuil is quite close to Paris, about 20 minutes from the Gare[2] St Lazare.

I would have taken the liberty of inviting you to stay at my house in London — and your son will have told you how greatly everyone in the family admires your works— had not my wife's shocking and, I fear, fatal illness put a stop, as it were, to our intercourse with the outside world.

My wife and daughter send you

With sincerest wishes for your future prosperity,

Yours very truly,

Karl Marx
