Cologne, [about 29 or 30 October] 1848 

Dear Engels, 

As your letter only arrived this evening, there is no time left to 
make enquiries about bills. I haven’t even time to go home. I send 
you the enclosed, which happens to be to hand and, in addition, a 

@ after all - > Yours ever 

draft of 50 talers from Schulz on a citizen of Geneva* where you 
might also obtain help in other ways. 

I sent 50 talers to you and Dronke in Paris a long time ago and 
at the same time sent your passport to Gigot in Brussels. 

Since 11 October the paper has been appearing again, tale 
quale” It is not the time now to go into details, as haste is 
necessary. As soon as you can, write some news items and longer 
articles. Now that everyone save Weerth is away, Freiligrath having 
only joined us a few days ago, I am up to my eyes and unable to 
undertake work of a more detailed kind, and in addition the 
public prosecutor’s office is doing all it can to rob me of my time. 

Write by return. Shall I send your underclothing, etc.? Plasmann 
ready to do so immediately.” Your father has paid him, by the 
way. 

By the way, your old man has written to Gigot asking where you 
are. He wants, so he says, to send you some money. I sent him 
your address. 

Your 
K. Marx 

{From Louis Schulz] 

P. S. Should be obliged if you would open enclosed letter to J. Kohler by the 
Lake, or rue du Rhone, and deliver same, whereupon he will pay you 250 fr. for 
my account against sight draft on me. Friendly greetings. 

Louis Schulz
