MARX TO ENGELS

IN MANCHESTER

[London,] 5 November 1860

Dear Engels,

A week ago on Friday,[1] I sent you Weber's last letter, which I must have back.

I hope nothing untoward has happened, since I haven't heard a thing from you.

My hands are completely full, partly PRIVATE BUSINESS, partly proof-corrections[2] (always to be done twice over); last week, too, as a result of the Supreme Tribunal ruling,[3] I had to completely rewrite the bit about the lawsuit[4]; finally the Tribune.

Is it true that The Manchester Guardian occasionally has some interesting stuff from Paris now?

Salut.

Your

K. M.

Now you can see what would have happened if I had relied on Siebel. Over a fortnight ago, I wrote[5] asking whether he would be willing to see to the copies (their despatch) for journals, etc., in Germany (and for which?). Needless to say, no reply.
