ENGELS TO MARX

IN LONDON

[Manchester,] 9 February 1860

Dear Moor,

As soon as I have Dronke's address, he shall receive a copy. Meanwhile, one will go off today to Dr Bronner.[1]

So the Telegraph is going to apologise?[2] Most gratifying; up till today nothing has appeared.

I am very much looking forward to hearing further details. Make sure that Wiehe and Vögele don't slip out of your hands. Cela se pourrait[3] ; when a few pounds are being offered, there is always the fear that something of the kind may happen.

Enclosed fiver D/M 34115, Manchester, 4 January 1859; if it's not enough, let me know and I'll send you another £ or two.

Because of the office boys I don't care to send out to the P[OSTAL] O[RDER] OFFICE unnecessarily and hence would rather put it off until I'm able to lay hands on another fiver. However, you can send your wife the money from here,[4] or else have it beforehand, comme il te plaira[5] .

Still no sign either of the National-Zeitung or of Vogt? I'm leaving now and intend to finish at least the rough draft of the manuscript today and tomorrow.

Vale.
