MARX TO ENGELS ”** 

[London, 14 November 1862] 

Dear Engels, 

Since you have just sent money to Eccarius and, on top of that, 
paid out the large sum for Lassalle’s bill,* you will, of course, be 
very ‘blanc’? Nevertheless, I must ask you to send me a small sum 
by Monday, for I have to buy coal and ‘victuals’, which, since the 
épicier has been refusing me credit for the past 3 weeks, I must, 
nevertheless, buy from him cash down until the swine has been 
paid off, otherwise I shall be prosecuted. 

Salut. 
Your 
K. M.
