Written on 13 July 1871. Published in The Standard, 17 July 1871. Text of the newspaper, as transcribed by Tony Brown for the Marxists Internet Archive, compared with the German version in Karl Marx/Friedrich Engels, Werke, vol. 17 (Berlin, 1962, p. 389). Traducción al español.
Sir,
In this morning’s Standard your Paris correspondent translates from the Gazette de France a letter dated Berlin, April 28, 1871, and purporting to be signed by me. I beg to state that this letter is from beginning to end a forgery, quite as much as all the previous pretended letters of mine lately published in the Paris-journal and other French police papers. If the Gazette de France professes to have taken the letter from German papers, this must be a falsehood too. A German paper would never have dated that fabrication from Berlin.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Karl Marx
