MARX TO ENGELS
IN MANCHESTER
[London,] 14 August 1862
Dear Frederick,
Just a few lines as I have a mass of business errands to r u n today.
T h e misunderstanding consists solely in there 'not having been one'.
Before writing to you, I had told Borkheim that I did not know whether Lassalle was in Berlin, and hence that there was n o certainty of an immediate acceptance. Borkheim had, nevertheless, promised to DISCOUNT the moment he had your signature. H e subsequently thought better of it.
H e decided, not to DISCOUNT in person, as he had originally intended, BUT TO HAVE THE BILL DISCOUNTED BY ONE OF HIS FRIENDS CONNECTED WITH BERLIN. * danger in delay
T o that end, he naturally required Lassalle's acceptance. T h e latter, or so I learned from Bücher yesterday, is at present at Wildbad, where Lassalle SENIOR[1] is more or less on the point of kicking the bucket. I immediately wrote to Baron Izzy.[2]
Salut.
Your
K. M.
