[London,] 15 September 1860 

Dear Engels, 

"THANKS FOR THE ARTICLE. is 

I enclose herewith Eichhoff’s piece* which, however, you must 
return to me intact within 2 or 3 days at the outside. It doesn’t 
belong to me. The scrawl had no sooner come out than it was 
confiscated in Berlin. This copy is the only one to be had in 
London. Part H, about Patzke, etc., so badly written, is excruciat- 
ingly funny. Moreover, it shows you what those stinking courts of 
justice in Berlin are like. And the infamous press there, venting all 
of its liberal leonine courage on Bombalino and reserving none for 
its Patzke, its tribunals and its utterly contemptible Prince Regent.” 

Garibaldi is a veritable godsend. Ornerwisz, Bonaparte would 
have been restored to popularity and sustained by the Russo- 
Prussian-Austrian Holy Alliance.*" 

Our gentle Heinrich Burgers—but you'll see this for yourself 
from the enclosed epistle from Lassalle (also to be returned)—has 
gone over to the Prince Regent. Lassalle wrote to me first, from 
Aachen, where he is taking the waters for gout. Amongst other 
things, he says that in Cologne and Düsseldorf, where the 
Workers’ Associations have been reorganised under the leadership 
of two young barristers unknown to us,‘ my anti-Vogt piece“ is 
eagerly awaited. Borkheim brought back the same news from

Switzerland. In reply to Lassalle’s pressure, I told him* that all we 
can hope for (and such, judging by Siebel’s letters, is the case) is to 
get the printing done in London, whence Petsch would transact 
business in Germany through the usual channels (Leipzig), and in 
other countries direct. To this end, I wrote, money is needed. Next 
I get the fellow’s letter. But he won’t get off so easily. I’m writing 
to him again today.” He'll have to disgorge at least £30 by way of 
conscience-money. Borkheim is contributing £12. Thus, the major 
part of the expenses would already be met. Herewith a specimen 
proof from Hirschfeld. It would amount to £4 10/- a sheet. But 
there’d be as much on it as on two ordinary sheets. Take a look at 
the final pages of the conclusion to L.’s endless letter, where he 
lavishes much praise on my political economy.“ He would seem not 
to have understood much of its economics—as is plainly evident 
from the way he expresses himself. 

Salut.

Apropos. 
The Neue Preussische Zeitung says the Demokratische Studien 
(Walesrode, Bamberger, Lassalle, Vogt, Grün, Oppenheim, etc.) 
were written by 8 genuine and 2 ‘artificial’ Jews.
