[London,] 7 February 1860 
9 Grafton Terrace, etc. 

Dear Engels, 

Of the copies despatched to you," send 1 to Dronke, 1 to 
Dr Bronner in Bradford. I have sent one to Borchardt myself. 

The D. T. (Daily Telegraph), Monday’s issue, p. 5, contained a 
filthy article (in ract, from Berlin, but dated Frankfurt a. M.)” 
based on the two in the National-Zeitung. I instantly threatened the 
dogs with a ue. action,; and they will open their traps and 
apologise. 

Letters from Fischel (there’s another way of bringing a lawsuit, 
which actually involves no money), Lassalle (absurd in the 
extreme), Schily (interesting), etc. More details tomorrow. 

I now have to pay the printing costs (will be about £1), £1 to be 
paid next Monday at the County-Court, and shall need something, 
partly to get to Manchester with and partly so as to leave a 
modicum here. At the same time, before departing hence, I shall 
have to make, and get others to make, all manner of affidavits.

Apropos. Wiehe is now going to state before the magistrate that 
he signed a false pecraration at the insistent request of Blind and 
Hollinger.”
