ENGELS TO MARX” 

Manchester, 18 October 1867 
Dear Moor, 

I have written to Borkheim that I cannot accept in any 
circumstances and that now that I have guaranteed him the 
amount, it all depends on his sources of credit, as mine are tied 
up. 

The letters returned enclosed. Liebknecht appears to have been 
sick, or else he could surely have said something about the 
combination Jaw. Perhaps it is BETTER so. Schweitzer has shown 
himself to be a vain jackass and phrasemonger. He’s finished 
now.2” 

I was much amused by the Beta correspondence.* 

The Courrier frangais‘’ has arrived, but I have no time 

whatsoever to form an opinion of it today.
