ENGELS TO MARX

IN LONDON

Manchester, 15 October 1867

Dear Moor,

In the greatest of haste, just this: Borkheim wants me to allow a bill to be drawn on myself, which more than anything else I am not permitted to do. I have written to him[1] that I will give him a guarantee for the £150 (having at the same time increased the amount) and am prepared to give him privatim any SECURITY that it will be paid ANY TIME after 1 August 1868, and asked him whether in these circumstances he can raise the money.[2] He has said nothing further about the LOAN. Perhaps it would be best if you saw him, as he is going away at the end of the week and will not be back for a fortnight.

Your

F. E.
