Manchester, 11 October 1867 

Dear Moor, 

Kindest thanks for the letters and newspapers, which I shall 
send back in a few days. 

I am writing to Borkheim that I will gladly take on the 
guarantee with him, provided he can so arrange the matter that 
everything proceeds secretly and that, e.g., no references are 
required of me—as I am contractually forbidden to become svrery, 
and my relations with Monsieur Gottfried” are such that he would 
Seize upon any occasion TO PUT ME IN THE WRONG BEFORE A COURT OF 
arbitration. SO long as he cannot do that, I am prepared to give 
him my solemn assurance that I will be co-hable for the £100, and 
await further proposals. Or would Freiligrath, e.g., be sufficient 
reference for me? The point is that the business would have to be 
concluded entirely behind the backs of all my commercial 
connections. Enfin nous verrons.© 

@ the first volume of Capital - > Gottfried Ermen - © Well, we shall see. 

Tomorrow afternoon I shall put something together for 
Kugelmann; if we are to wait until he has read the book* through, 
we shall not get far. I shall write to Siebel, too. I do not know 
what you have in mind with the Freiligrath-bard Rittershaus, I do 
not know the fellow at all, and as far as I know, he is definitely 
not one of our people. 

There was much else about which I wished to write to you, but 
then along comes that damned old Jew Leibel Choras, whom you 
know, and detains me for over an hour. Then another fellow 
immediately following. For a week now I have been overrun with 
clients, 2 more this morning. Yet another expected tomorrow 
morning. On top of that, endless bother with Gottfried, it is 
enough to drive one mad. 

So till tomorrow. 

Your 
F. E.
