MARX TO ENGELS
IN MANCHESTER
[London,] 14 August 1867
Dear FREDERICK,
As you will see from the enclosed, I am threatened with distraint if I do not pay the taxes (amounting to £ll-9s.) next Friday. I have an additional £1-15s. interest to pay to the pawnshop at the end of this week, or the things will lapse. I did not tell you of all these abominations before, as I had previously been attempting—vainly, I'm afraid—to rustle up the money in London.
With the huge sums that you have sent me this year, there would be no such PRESSURE, if it had not been for over £200 in previous debts. If I am to straighten out my affairs and not to PRESSURE you so dreadfully, it is imperative that I raise a loan somewhere else, even if another journey to the Continent is required for the purpose. But I cannot lift a finger until the printing is complete.[1] I received the 48th sheet today. So this week the whole vile business will be over.
Salut.
Your
K. M.
