{Manchester,] Thursday, 6 July 1854 

Dear Marx, 

I hope the £5 arrived. Enclosed an article for tomorrow, which 
covers the first phase of the war.? 

If the fellows are really going to send French troops to the 
Baltic, they must at least take [the] Aland [Islands]. That would be 
the best thing. 

Enclosed a hymn. Query: 

1. What century? 

2. Who wrote it? 

Reply by return, please.
