6. K. Marx. To the Editor of the Beobachter[9]

1, Modena Villas, Maitland Park, Haverstock Hill, London

Dear Sir,

I beg you to accept for publication the enclosed letter concerning Herr Karl Blind.

I have sent the same statement in the same form — as a letter to the Stuttgart Beobachter—to some Prussian newspapers for publication, and will also arrange for it to be reproduced in a German newspaper here so that responsibility for it rests solely with me.

Yours faithfully,

K. Marx

[9] At a parliamentary session in 1863, the Irish deputies headed by Thomas Maguire demanded legislative measures limiting landlords' arbitrariness, in particular, the tenants' right to have their expenses on a rented plot compensated when the lease had expired or been terminated. In his spejech on June 23, 1863 Palmerston called these demands "communistic doctrines" "subversive of all the fundamental principles of social order".
