MARX TO FERDINAND LASSALLE” 

[London,] 10 June 1859 

Dear Lassalle, 
Since I wrote to you last I have had to prepare and send off 15 
printed sheets for the English-American cyclopaedia, which is 

@ the little wolf, i.e. Lupus (Wilhelm Wolff) - b Das Volk, No. 4, 28 May 1859 
(‘Vereins-Nachrichten’). See also this volume, p. 489. - © F. Engels, “The Campaign in 
Italy’. - 4 A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy

appearing in New York.* This is no joke, what with my other 
work. Today is the day for the Tribune articles.” So there’s not a 
minute to spare. Hence I’m merely writing to Jet you know that I 
got your letters as well as the pamphlet.‘ 

This much for the present: 

Ad vocem Sickingen: Shall read it as soon as I have time and let 
you have a reply.*” 

Ad vocem pamphlet: In no way corresponds with my own view or 
that of my party friends in England. It is probable, by the by, that 
we shall express our view in print. 

Ad vocem Duncker: Have written to tell him I’m sorry if my letter 
offended him. However it’s a scandalous piece of procrastination. I 
received the last proof-sheet as much as 5 weeks ago. You can’t 
expect me—once I have a contract—to behave towards a publisher 
or permit myself to be treated by him as though he were printing 
the thing only as a ‘favour’ to yourself. One good turn he has 
already done me, and that is to lose me my English publisher until 
further notice. 

Ad vocem Vogt (Imperial bailiff) We possess evidence, not only 
that the man has received money for himself from Bonaparte, but 
also money to suborn Germans in the interests of Franco-Russian 
propaganda.*” Up till now he has succeeded only in the case of 
that politically negative quantity, Gottfried Kinkel. 

Ad vocem Proudhon: Is said to have gone out of his mind and 
been put in a lunatic asylum in Brussels.
