ENGELS TO MARX

IN LONDON

Manchester, 10 February 1859

Dear Moor,

The news about Eccarius is truly staggering. What a heroic letter he wrote you![1] That such a fine chap should come to such a pitiful end! We are losing our best men during this wretched period of peace, and the new blood is very pauvre.

Herewith Lassalle's letter. I'm glad the manuscript[2] has arrived. What did Freiligrath have to say concerning my letter about Kinkel? To me he wrote, 'ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT' and said he had given his answer to you. So you still owe it to me.

I am going home now and shall get an article on the Austrian and German federal army done in time for the 2nd post.

Your

F. E.
