ENGELS TO MARX
IN LONDON
[Manchester, 31 July 1862]
Dear Moor,
No doubt you will understand that, after the heavy outgoings last month, it will be impossible for me to get hold of £25 for you just now. I have postponed till August all heavy outgoings on my own account (LANDLADY and quarterly account), moreover, because of the bill, I have had to give Borkheim an order, which will similarly have to be met in August. I shall see what can be done before tomorrow. I still owe Lupus £10, and he will ask for it immediately on his return,[1] which might be any day now. If you
add this to last month's outgoings, you will see that it takes a tidy slice out of the new financial year. However, I shall see this evening how much will have to be paid out, and hence how much I shall be able to send you.
If only I knew what the balance looked like and how I stand! But the day after tomorrow Charles[2] leaves for Warsaw, where we have incurred a bad debt, and then the whole caboodle will come to a dead stop again.
Your
F. E.
