ENGELS TO MARX
IN LONDON
[Manchester, beginning of September 1862]
Dear Moor,
I am up to my eyes in the cotton racket, which has assumed colossal proportions[1]—those with courage are making a lot of money; but Ermen & Engels, alas, have no courage—it is putting me to a hell of a lot of work. I shall write to you as soon as I possibly can.
