Manchester, 19 April 1869 

Dear Moor, 

Enclosed Liebknecht returned. I wrote to him in a strictly 
BUSINESSLIKE ** way about the Peasant War,’ and I shall hear how he 
reconciles the gushing of funds for printing pamphlets with the 
newspapers’” deficit. 

Lafargue’s manuscript‘ is here; I have not yet been able to take 
a look at it, and I think he should take his exams avant tout 

The great Thesmar from Cologne is now here, has introduced 
himself to Gumpert and also Borchardt under the name Themar, 
but has already accepted Thesmar. If you can send me the 
number of Zukunft that mentioned the warrant out against him 
for embezzlement, then do so; otherwise I shall have to write to 
Schneider. 

Your 
F. E. 

Another curious subject* greeted Borchardt as ‘editor of the 
Neue Rheinische Zeitung’; Borchardt himself will write to you about 
him.
