Dear Friend
I had an abscess (carbunculous) for about 12 days (not yet quite healed) on my left arm, like the one that I had under the left armpit while I was staying with Engels in Manchester. But that is not the reason why I have delayed until today my answer to your letter of 17 inst.
Since I would be most unwilling to cut across your plans, and was also personally interested in enjoying your company, I tried several ways of arranging the affair to fit in with your intentions. But it is absolutely impossible. At the end of August I must be in Holland with my relatives, where I have many affairs to settle that are of great interest and importance to me. My suggestion, to postpone the rendezvous to another time, was emphatically turned down because the people I am to meet are all tied to their business and can only meet me in Brussels at that particular time.
So I shall leave London about the end of August. You must let me know when you will be back in Hanover. I shall see how far I can regulate my further progress to fit in.
With best greetings to your dear wife and Fr�nzchen.
Yours
KM

Dear Kugelmann
In all haste, as Tussychen [1] and Engels have just arrived. You see from these lines that we arrived safely in England, yesterday.
We had a few sea adventures, and others, about which Jennychen will write you.
Meanwhile, our heartiest greetings to the whole house.
Yours
Karl Marx
Special greetings to Madame la Comtesse and K�uzchen. Ditto greetings from Engels, Lafargue, Mrs Marx, etc. The little one is better again.
