ENGELS TO MARX
IN LONDON
Manchester, 26 December 1862
Dear Moor,
Lupus gave me your letter[1] yesterday and I send herewith O/I 85335, Manchester, 28 Jan. 1862 £5, Bank of England, M. 97. £5 note- of the Boston* Bank, payable at Masterman's in London. Unfortunately, old Hill hasn't got £10 in Bank of England notes, but the other one is also CASH.
The events that took place at your house and during your wife's trip are surprising indeed and, what is more significant, quite exceptionally unlucky. But, in any case, it's excellent news that you should have some prospect of publication in France. How is THIS TO BE MANAGED? And have you heard from Brockhaus?[2]
I fear the good Burnside will get a drubbing on the Rappahannock.[3] He must have a particular proclivity for it, since he seems incapable of deciding to risk more than 40,000 men at one go. I'm surprised, by the way, that the CONFEDERATES should fight there, instead of falling back slowly on Richmond and fighting there; this may yet happen.
Many regards,
Your
F. E.
