Sir,

I have declared in The Daily News — and you have reprinted in The Pall Mall — that I hold myself alone responsible for the charges brought forward against “Jules Favre and Co..

In your yesterday’s publication you declare these charges to be “libels.” I declare you to be a libeller. It is no fault of mine that you are as ignorant as arrogant. If we lived on the Continent, I should call you to account in another way. —

Obediently,

Karl Marx
