[London, after 5 September 1852] 

Enclosed copy of a manuscript from Paris by Hafner?” 
(sometime editor of the Constitution, the only tolerable newspaper 
in Vienna). This man once allowed himself to be misused to 
bluster against me in the Hamburger Nachrichten in the interests of 
Kinkel. The manuscript was not addressed to me but to an 
acquaintance of mine in Paris,” through whose ‘indiscretion’ it 
came into my hands, probably not wholly without the author’s 
prior knowledge. Hence, you can make use of the document if 
opportunity arises, but only in such a way as to omit everything 
that might betray its origin, or rather directly indicate it. Though 
he may have a hump both fore and aft, little Hafner writes and 
thinks better and has a great deal more to him than many a 
straight-limbed revolutionary philistine...
