MARX TO ENGELS
IN MANCHESTER
[London,] 18 December 1860
Dear Frederick,
My wife is now much better. Allen thinks that the children — running two households is not only very inconvenient, but also expensive—will be able to come back on Sunday[1] or Monday. I myself shall then resume my contributions to the Tribune, which has had only 2 articles[2] in nearly 5 weeks. Let me have another one by Saturday if you can.
For the past two days, I have been confined to bed and taking medicine, but Allen says it is nothing of any consequence and I should be fit again in 3 or 4 days. Apparently, it's the result of the
EXCITEMENT, etC.
As regards your view of Szemere, I would inform you, strictly on the quiet, that I am entirely of the same mind. The really funny part is that I had proposed to him, ironically, that they should keep the Habsburgs for themselves, that Pest would be the final place of refuge for the same, etc.
Salut.
Your
K. M.
