ENGELS TO MARX

IN LONDON

[Manchester, 27 June 1860]

Dear Moor,

Let me have the enclosed back; I shall immediately write a few lines for Siebel about the Berlin affair and send them to him with my reply to be passed on. The same applies to Heckscher.[1]

I shall see if I can still do Bohemia today.[2] It is close on 8 o'clock and I'm still at the office. Whether I shall be able to do anything on Garibaldi tomorrow, I don't know yet; 1. no material, 2. my brother-in-law.[3] Enfin,[4] I shall do my best.

So Izzy appears in public with Vogt and is secretly our ally.[5]

Cela n'est pas mal.[6] Write to Meissner at once.[7]

  5. ↑ An allusion to the fact that Lassalle, as well as Vogt, had contributed to the Demokratische Studien almanach published by Meisner in 1860. Among other items, it contained Lassalle's article 'Fichtes politisches Vermächtniß und die neueste Gegenwart' and Vogt's article 'Ein Blick auf das jetzige Genf.
