Manchester, 28 October 1852 

Dear Marx, 

Yesterday I sent you a volume of Dureau de la Malle* and a 
letter per Carver & Co.” Enclosed herewith you will find various 
covers done up to look like commercial ones, and enclosed therein 
envelopes for Hontheim and Esser I, who are less likely than 
Schneider to arouse the suspicions of the philistines. If you think 
it advisable, you can always enclose a sealed envelope for 
Schneider. However, I don’t see why you shouldn’t every now and 
again write a line or two to the other defence counsel to make 
them feel that they are important. I also enclose a commercial 
seal; your old one bearing Weydemeyer’s arms and the clumsy S 
are useless. When writing to Manchester also use any other old 
SIXPENNY Seal. 

Every so often send Schneider a relatively unimportant letter by 
registered post so as to mislead the fellows and make them believe 
that we have dropped our clandestine methods for want of 
addresses. 

There can be no doubt that the citizens whose addresses you will- 
find here will see to it that the letters reach their destination. 

You should draw counsel’s attention to the obvious crimes and 
délits‘“ committed by the police and make sure they enter a plea for 
Stieber’s arrest on grounds of perjury and false evidence; the 
fellow has effectively committed perjury in the case of your letter to 
Kothes.?” 

By this evening’s post a letter about more humdrum matters. 

Your 
F. E.
