Dear Engels,
You would oblige me greatly if you could send me the money before the week is out. I have just been to see Freiligrath and asked him whether he could advance me anything against my bill on America, which is drawable only in 2 or 3 weeks’ time, mais impossible! I was expecting the money from Putnam's today; hasn’t arrived. The transactions with Urquhart’s wretched rabble — on whom I have claims — are still in suspense. [See this volume, p. 76.] If I’m late with the first payment to my landlord, I shall be entièrement discrédité.
In great haste.
Salut.
Your
K. M.
P.S. Can you send me any bon mots on the military aspects of the Prussia-Neuchâtel conflict?[110] They would be very timely. I have dealt with the diplomatic part myself. [A reference to Marx’s article ‘The Right Divine of the Hohenzollerns’.]
