Letter to Friedrich Engels, November 29, 1867


MARX TO ENGELS

IN MANCHESTER

[London,] 29 November 1867

DEAR FRED,

BEST THANKS FOR THE £30. Letter from Kugelmann returned enclosed. We must watch out that he doesn't commit any stupidities in his enthusiasm. Such as with Miquel, for example.[1]

As regards the paper of the United States of Europe3—and the contributions I have been asked for from Geneva—it is the purest nonsense. Mr K. Grün probably the editor. And the thing is in itself a FAILURE.

Salut.

Your

K. M.

Cold and disagreeable though it is, I am supposed to circumambulate the Heath,[2] etc., for a few days.

  1. In looking for ways to publish reviews of Volume One of Marx's Capital, Ludwig Kugelmann applied for help to the lawyer Ernst Warnebold who, as it turned out later, was one of Bismarck's informers, and the National-Liberal Johannes Miquel; both of them were prejudiced against proletarian revolutionaries.
