Marx's letter was written in connection with the publication in the Berliner Reform, on April 10, 1863, of a note giving a distorted account of Marx's negotiations with Lassalle on the joint publication of a newspaper during Marx's stay in Berlin in the spring of 1861 (see his letter to Engels of May 7, 1861 in Vol. 41 of the present edition). The Editors of the Berliner Reform introduced the letter with the words: "We have received the following note from Karl Marx in London:". p. 273

The anecdote related in No. 83 of your paper referring to my stay in Berlin in 1861[1] has only “one drawback”, that it is a fabrication. This is just to keep the record straight.
