MARX TO ENGELS
IN MANCHESTER
[London,] 9 April 1860
Dear Engels,
Great disappointment today when, instead of yourself, your letter arrived. However, we saw that it only made 'good sense'.
Siebel has carried out his mission well and with great discretion.[1]
I still haven't been able to find the key.[2] However, the 'upper' key also fits the lower key-hole. It locks both compartments.
I shall send you Weydemeyer's letter shortly. Before leaving Manchester I confided to Gumpert, etc., such fables as I thought necessary to justify my non-trip to Holland.
Freiligrath has written me a friendly letter. Up till now I have neither answered him, nor seen him.
The only letter I have had from Gumpert that was addressed to you was intended for me—from Liebknecht, who informs me that the Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung has given him notice.[3]
No news from Fischel. Nor yet from Weber. I shall post you your pamphlet[4] from here on Thursday[5] Borkheim has advertised it in the Hermann (latest issue)[6] and I in the Tribune; Liebknecht will now (Wednesday) advertise it in the New Orleans Paper? Salut.
Your
K. M.
The American papers (New-Yorker Staatszeitung, etc.) are full of Vogt's drivel. The fellows over there got the book sooner than we did in London.
- ↑ In the spring of 1860 Siebel visited Paris and Geneva and obtained, through J. Ph. Becker and Georg Lommel, some documents at Marx's request and information which Marx needed for his book against Vogt.
- ↑ See previous letter.
- ↑ In the letter of 28 March 1860 Liebknecht wrote to Marx that the Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung had given him notice as its correspondent, and requested Marx to help him find work as correspondent for some American newspaper. The letter, sent to Engels' address in Manchester, was, in the latter's absence (see Note 146), forwarded by Gumpert to Marx in London.
