{London,] 14 February 1860 

Dear Frederick, 

Enclosed copy of Végele’s affidavit’” which I thought I had sent 
you on Saturday.' 

4 ‘To the Editors of the Volks-Zeitung. Declaration’. - » K. Marx, ‘Prosecution of the 
Augsburg Gazette’. - < See this volume, pp. 31-32 and 37. - 4 ibid., pp. 32-38. - 
© 15 February - £ 11 February. Marx probably sent the affidavit without a covering 
letter, or the letter is no longer extant. 

Borkheim has handed me the manuscript of his narrative ‘THE 
RISE, PROGRESS AND DECLINE’ Of the Brimstone Gang.’ He is, as I’ve 
already told you, first clerk of a firm in Mark Lane; earns between 
£600 and £700 a year. 

My correspondence with Schily is still going on, of course, since 
I have to cross-examine him on specific points. 

- Did Lassalle post you Vogt’s book*? In reply to his letter, I told 
the fool to address the thing to you.” 

I expect to have an answer by telegraphic despatch tomorrow 
from Legal Counsellor Weber.‘ 

There are a number of matters still to be settled tomorrow. 

If means are available, I may possibly depart some time tomorrow. 
I can’t say for certain, as unforeseen events may detain me a day 
longer. At any rate, make sure that I find all the letters and papers 
thrown together in ‘one great pile’. 

The pitiable Hermann (apparently at the instigation of Kinkel, 
WHO IS ABOUT MARRYING AN ENGLIsHwomaNn with £2-3000 a year) did not 
publish the resolution adopted by the Workers’ Society.’ Mais ces 
messieurs y penseront. 

The beastly Telegraph’ wrote to me again today and referred me 
to yesterday’s piece by their beastly correspondent. I'll play the 
scoundrel a merry tune. 

Salut. 
Your 
K. M. 
Have not yet heard anything from Papa Blind.
