MARX TO ENGELS

IN MANCHESTER

[London,] 1 May [1858]

DEAR Frederick,

I shall part on Thursday[1] by the Great Northern, leaves London at half past 2, arrives at Manchester at 7 p.m.

Yours

K. M.

Since yesterday I have been feeling much better and au fond[2] it was my intention to start work sérieusement on Monday. However AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE DOCTOR, who thinks that I still need a week of gadding about, I have let my duty go hang.
