[London,] 25 October 1860 

Dear Engels, 

Herewith the letter from Weber, to whom I must therefore send 
asour 6 talers; so ends the spree with Prussian justice.* You can 
pass on this news to Siebel. 

Later on, I shall publish asour one sheet On Prussian Justice 
here in London, but not until the book? is safely in Germany. 

During the first 4 weeks, all went very slowly at Hirschfeld’s, 
partly because Zinn, the compositor, left him in the lurch, and also 
because he had a great deal to do and one of my sheets amounted 
to more than 2 ordinary printed sheets. However, last week I 
entered into a written agreement with him whereby he has got to 
finish by 15 November. 

In the last number of Stimmen der Zeit, Kolatschek has brought 
the thing up again in the ‘Juchheisten’, in which friend Lassalle, 
among others, comes off ‘’orribly’.* 

How goes it with the Navy‘? 

Do you think there might actually be war this autumn?

What with proof-correcting and a host of petty things to do, I’ve 
had my hands so full that for a while I hardly had time to write to 

you. 
Salut.
