MARX TO EDUARD FISCHEL'” 

{London,] 8 May 1860 

Dear Sir, 

Many thanks for your letter and for your trouble. I shall shortly 
be sending you a letter from little Faucher on the subject of 
Mayer.” 

* 11 May - » See this volume, pp. 131-32. 

As for the proposed newspaper, I would not be averse to 
becoming involved in it.” Only I would first have to know 
something more about its establishment, political outlook, etc. As 
regards foreign policy (and this, as from England, would no doubt 
be the main thing), I believe that we are in substantial agreement. 
On the other hand, there might well be considerable differences 
of opinion in regard to internal policy. The main thing, of course, 
is to know what attitude the newspaper intends to adopt in 
Prussia. If it eschews an emphatically one-sided party viewpoint, I 
should say that, at the present time, when Germany is in danger, 
people of varying political views could work together against 
foreign foes, without making any mutual concessions. 

Yours very truly, 
K. Marx 

Also written (8 May) to Engels, Borkheim, Eccarius, Petsch, and 
Weydemeyer.*
