MARX TO ENGELS

IN MANCHESTER

[London,] 28 June [1860]

Dear Frederick,

Your enclosure returned herewith. I shall write to Meissner.[1]

I already knew about the comical affair of Lassalle yesterday, for the National-Zeitung carried a highly eulogistic LEADER about the admirable Studien.'h

What do you make of the infamous conduct of the Prussian government?[2]

Salut.

Your

K. M.

By the by, you should now put your name on everything. It was a disadvantage from the very start that the thing[3] should have appeared anonymously.
