Manchester, 13 December 1867 

Dear Kugelmann, 

‘Pursuant to mine humbly of yesterday—so that you do not 
forget all the elements of commercial style—you will find enclosed 
2 articles, one examining the content of the book, for the 
Beobachter,? and the other merely discussing points of fact, for the 
Gewerbeblatt or the Staats-Anzeiger< 

You will appreciate the difficulties which had to be overcome 
with the first of these when you consider that the editor of the 
Beobachter is the tedious talker from Swabia, Karl Mayer, from Herr 
Vogt, who will certainly never knowingly do us any favours. You 
realise that these articles must only be submitted in copy, but I

Beobachter. - ¢ F. Engels, ‘Review of Volume One of Capital for the Staats-Anzeiger fur 
Württemberg’ 

would ask you to keep all the originals, as one never knows what 
they may be needed for. 

I shall also be sending something for the Merkur, but I cannot 
yet do so much work in the evening now as I get too excited by it 
and last night again e.g. I could scarce sleep for thinking of the 
articles. The weather, business and the vestiges of the tic 
douloureux” from last Sunday are keeping me from riding, and so I 
cannot get back to normal. 

I have not read about the Siebenmark affair in the Zukunft, I 
but rarely set eyes on the paper. 

Farewell for today. It is 6 o’clock in the evening, closing time, 
and I am tired and hungry. 

Yours 
F. E.
