MARX TO ENGELS
IN MANCHESTER
[London,] 2 August 1852
Dear Engels,
Herewith the stuff for Dana.[1] We must assail the fellow from all sides, the more so since that old farceur, Ruge, has actually deposited one of his stylistic excretions in a recent number.[2]
The Cologne affair has been adjourned by the court for 3 months at the request of the public prosecutor.[3] In other words, the principal witnesses have slipped through his fingers, Haupt to Brazil and a journeyman tailor to some lieu inconnu.[4]
Do you think that Dana might take offence because of the similarity in the names of the English and American Whigs?
A detailed dispatch, probably, tomorrow.

K. M.
- ↑ Marx has in mind the article on political parties in England which he wanted Engels to translate into English. This was in fact Marx's first own contribution to the New-York Daily Tribune. Marx wrote his first articles for the Tribune in German and sent them to Engels to be translated into English. Sometimes Engels divided a long article into two, which Marx then sent to the newspaper as separate articles. In this case too Engels divided the material received into two parts, which Marx sent to New York on 6 and 10 August entitled respectively: 'The Elections in England.—Tories and Whigs' and 'The Chartists' (see present edition, Vol. 11). From the end of January 1853 Marx himself wrote his articles for the paper in English
