ENGELS TO MARX

IN LONDON

Manchester, 4 December 1867

Dear Moor,

I have given the LOAN COMPANY the REFERENCE, I said, FROM

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION I AM CONVINCED THAT M R M A R X WILL BE IN A POSITION

TO REPAY THE LOAN WHEN DUE.

The letters from Borkheim returned enclosed. I hope the business goes well.

I shall be sending you letters from Kugelmann and Liebknecht tomorrow or the day after. Both have some prospect of getting various things[1] placed in newspapers, though admittedly small ones, I shall be attending to it this and tomorrow evening.

As to Meissner's notice,[2] haste is not very advisable. The stuff must not appear in the papers until after New Year, otherwise it will get lost in the flood of notices for Christmas books.

Your

F. E.
