ENGELS TO MARX

IN LONDON

Manchester, 17 November 1857

7 South gate

Dear Marx,

I doubt whether yesterday's article[1] reached you soon enough. When I went to the post it had just turned midnight and the BOX was closed, so I dropped it in the EXTRA BOX, which means it must have left here at 9.15 this morning and arrived in London at 3.45, hence been delivered to you at about 6 o'clock.

About a month ago there was a share CRASH in Vienna, on which occasion 105 houses are said to have failed there to the tune of Fl. 14,000,000, or £1,400,000.

Nothing has been done here today. Tomorrow you will receive a whole bundle of Guardians and also some money from me, I hope.

Your

F. E.
