paper and was under attack from all the paper’s correspondents 
and creditors, b) because, in a letter to Freiligrath, Imandt 
depicted you, Kapp, etc., as complaining bitterly about me, while 
the precious Beust, I think it is Beust (I am not quite sure), was 
sending similar letters here. 

Within a few days the paper must either go under or else 
consolidate itself, in which case we shall immediately send you more 
money of which, at the moment, there is a complete lack. However 
the business of the 25 talers must be cleared up. 

That I have constantly regarded you as co-editor of the paper is 
apparent not only from the new announcement in the various 
papers,* but also from the fact that I placed your article about the 
expulsion of the Frankfurt refugee” under ‘Cologne’.

ENGELS TO DANIEL FENNER von FENNEBERG 

Cologne, 1 March 1849 

Dear Sir, 

I would have replied to you before now had I not first had to 
consult various other people about your matter. I do not think it 
advisable for you to make any sort of public appearance here; out

Marz 1849’. - > F. Wiedecker - © (E. Dronke,] ‘Allianz der europdischen Polizei’,

of craving for advancement, the chief of police* here is capable de 
tout,” as we have experienced only today in the unjustified 
expulsion of a local Polish refugee. I would further advise you, 
should your passport not be absolutely impeccable, to choose any 
route to Paris other than via Cologne and Brussels. You would get 
through Cologne well enough, but you would undoubtedly be 
arrested at the Belgian border and transported by prison van to 
the French border, after having, perhaps, spent several days in 
prison. I myself experienced this 5 months ago,”*? and every day 
fresh reports reach us of these infamies perpetrated against the 
refugees by the Belgians. You even run the risk of having all your 
money taken from you by the scoundrels and not getting a 
farthing back, as happened to the refugee, von Hochstetter. 

If I can be of service to you in any other way, it would be a 
pleasure. 

Yours faithfully 

F. Engels
