Your medical advice was effective in so far as I have consulted my Dr Maddison and have for the present put myself under his care. He says however that my lungs are in excellent condition and the cough is due to bronchitis, etc. It probably also affects the liver. Yesterday we received the by no means soothing news that Lafargue (not Laura) was at present in Paris.  You can send me Haxthausen s  book for lately I have been receiving undamaged various pamphlets, etc, not only from Germany but even from Petersburg. Thanks for the various newspapers you sent me. (Please let me have more of them, for I want to write something about Germany, the Reichstag, etc.) Best regards to the Countess and K uzchen.  KM
