London 23 Nov. 1868.

My dear Sir,

You may use my letter in whatever form you like.

The title of my work is:

“*Das Kapital. Kritik der Politischen Oekonomie.* Erster Band. Hamburg 1867.” “*Capital. Criticism of Political Economy.* First Volume. Hamburg 1867.”

The pamphlet I sent you, belongs to Mr. Borkheim. So, after perusal, please to return it. The secret of that pamphlet seems to be: Gerstenberg, agent of the Barings; the Barings, Foreign Loan Contractors, and, especially, loan contractors for the Russian Government.

Yours sincerely

K. Marx

C. D. Collet, Esq.
