[London,j 4 February 1860 

Dear Engels, 

Nothing from Berlin yet.* If Izzy weren’t a knave, incidentally, 
he would have sent me the National-Zeitung of his own accord, 
if nothing else, as soon as it came out. 

Now, as regards the extract from the N.-Z. for Lupus,” what I 
wrote, on the first occasion, was from memory and was not 
intended as a basis for a public statement. On the second occasion, 
I was copying, and to avoid misunderstanding, am doing so again. 
I can’t send the original as I haven’t a second one to spare.

see to it that I find ‘the whole lot’ (letters, newspapers, etc.) at 
your place in Manchester, so that I can get together what is 
relevant. We really mustn’t allow those blackguardly democrats— 
now, of course, gloating over our discomfiture—to make us 
accountable for their revolutionary travel plans, revolutionary 
paper money, revolutionary gossip, etc. And, starting with 
Gottfried Kinkel, Vogt’s secret correspondent over here, they have 
got to be shown up in the eyes of Germany.
