{London,] 15 March 1862 

Dear Engels, 

Because your article* failed to arrive, I have been unable to 
write to New York today. My relations with the Tribune are no 
longer such that, if (assuming they print the article) I send them 
SOMETHING ELSE In place of the sequel, they will print it. Rather, I am 
convinced that they are on the point of giving me my congé again 
along with all the other European correspondents. Their format has 
been reduced. They print perhaps one article in 3 or none at all. 
These are the usual indications of such a procedure. 

So, let me have the sequel by Tuesday” or better still, the 
conclusion, since it is only the conjectural part relating to the future 
that can be of any real interest to them. 

I'm not getting on very well with my book, since work is often 
checked, i.e. suspended, for weeks on end by domestic distur- 
bances. Little Jenny is still by no means as well as she should be. 

Salut. 

Your 
K. M.
