My dear Sir, 

I conclude from your silence, that you have taken offence at my 
last letter,* but I dare say, without any sufficient reason. You will 
not deny that by your own letter, the last but one, you did release 
me from the promise I had made to you.** On the other hand, 
you may any day write to Berlin, and ascertain from Mr Duncker, 
the publisher, that he has called upon me not any longer to delay 
the sending of the manuscript due to him.* Lastly, my proposal of 
Mr Kavannagh was, of course, meant to serve you, not me, and I 
proposed it only as a pis-aller.* 

Meanwhile, I took care to have a notice of your pamphlet (or 
rather of its impending appearance) inserted in the Weser-Zeitung, 
by a friend of mine. So soon as your pamphlet has come to my 
hands, I shall feel happy to give a large article on the same in the 
New-York Tribune. Kossuth has tried, by another letter to 
McAdam, at Glasgow, to attract public attention in England. This 
time his effort has proved a complete failure. 

There is one affair, in which I require information on your 
part, and think myself justified to ask it from you. 

Prof. Vogt (the tool of James Fazy at Genf,> who is intimately 
connected, as Vogt is, with Klapka and Kossuth) has published a 
pamphlet on his lawsuit with the A. A. Zeitung*. This pamphlet 
contains the most absurd calumnies against myself, so that I 
cannot but reply to the scandalous libel, though I regret the time 
to be applied to so mean a subject. Well. He now contends that he 
received the money for his propaganda from revolutionary 
Hungarians, and, half and half, insinuates, that the money came 
directly from Hungary. How incredible, since Kossuth -himself 
could get none from that source. Can you inform me somewhat 
exactly about Klapka’s circumstances at the time before the

outbreak of the Italian war?* Since I shall be forced, in the 
pamphlet I intend writing,* to speak of Kossuth et Co., somewhat 
largely, you will oblige me by adding what new points you have 
found out regarding his recent transactions. Has he, out of the 
3 millions, spent any part for paying or for arming a Hungarian 
corps? (I mean apart from the money given to military and civil 
dignitaries.”) 

The time becomes very critical, and, I hope, no misunderstand- 
ing shall prevent our common action. 

Yours truly
