Sir, 

I am enclosing herewith the last two documents needed to 
complete what has already been sent. The first is a letter from the 
editor-in-chief of the New-York Tribune to me.* I have included a 
German translation. 

The second document is highly important in that it proves that 
the wretched Cherval, alias Nugent, alias Cramer, far from being 
in touch with me when he was in Geneva, was hounded out of that 
city as a result of my book about the Communist trial in Cologne.” 
The letter is from Johann Philipp Becker in Paris (Becker fled 
after the affair of 1830/31, in 1848/49 he first commanded the 
volunteers in Baden, then he was colonel of the revolutionary 
army in Baden and the Palatinate; he is now a business man in 
Paris and, so to speak, the doyen of the German émigrés) and is 
directed to Rheinlander, a merchant in London, with whom he 
has business connections. Mr Rheinlander, who is an acquaintance 
of mine, was good enough to let me have the letter.‘ 

Apart from this letter, I have also sent you: 

1. Dated 21 Feb. Power of attorney, together with enclosures. 

a A ‘letter from Charles Dana. See this volume, p. 68.- > K. Marx, Revelations 
Concerning the Communist Trial in Cologne. - © Marx quotes it in Herr Vogt, present 
edition, Vol. 17, pp. 60-63. 

44, Marx to Bertalan Szemere. 4 April 1860 111 

2. Dated 24 Feb. A letter, together with enclosures. 

3. Dated 3 March. Two packages with enclosures.* 

I now look forward to receiving by return of post, firstly, a 
confirmation that these various letters, etc., have arrived, secondly, 
some news about the progress of the libel suit. 

I am, Sir, . 
Your most obedient Servant, 
Dr Karl Marx
