Dear Engels,

Enclosed herewith the final nonsuit from the High Court.” It
would be useless to go on to the Supreme Tribunal. It would

simply add to the costs. It’s imperative that I now send Weber his
32 talers 3 silver groschen and 6 pfennigs so that the chap can let
me have the documents (including his indictment) by return. I
need them for the pamphlet,’ which will be ready for my wife to
copy (and she'll do it quickly) within the next 8-10 days.

What is to be done next (I mean in the newspapers)?

A lawsuit like this (note, e.g., the deplorable tone, reminiscent of
newspaper polemics, of the High Court’s findings) is something I
have not come across before. These Prussian curs need a thorough
hiding. It’s a good thing, by the by, that they’ve supplied me with
‘material’.

Nevertheless, the craven rabble in the High Court did see fit to
disallow Mr Vogt’s insinuations about ‘extortion’, etc.

Salut.

Your
K. M.

three weeks now and is feeling better.
