London, 2 February 1861 
Dear Frederick, 

Yesterday I got the enclosed note from Freiligrath* which 
doesn’t make matters any more agreeable. You must write and tell 
me at once what I ought to do. 

In fact, Pve been so sotuerep from all sides that my head is going 
round and round and, on top of that, there is the unpleasantness 
of having to annoy you with all my petites miséres. 

I have written to Dana, who is definitely in the wrong legally, but 
with little prospect of success.” The fellows know that one needs 
them and that they, for their part, don’t need one at this moment. 

Weren't you going to send me the Nazione—certain letters of 
Mazzinis? Forgotten? You will shortly be getting the confiscated 
issue of the Courrier du Dimanche from me. 

Bucher maintains—he asked Borkheim to tell me—that_ his 
review will still appear in the Allgemeine Zeitung. You will doubtless 
have seen that at every opportunity the scoundrelly Blind brings 
his name before the public as an homme d’état< 

The rotten book business has cost me more than £4 all in all. 
What a strange fate this risrary has! *** 

No news from Siebel? His connections certainly seem to be 
exceedingly limited. 

Salut. Voir

Thimm told Petsch a day or two ago that Herr Vogt has been the 
object of some particularly malicious abuse in Manchester. Brass, 
expressly for his own personal satisfaction, has ordered new type 
to be cast so that Herr Vogt can be advertised in an even more 
conspicuous manner. Given the large number of Swiss in 
Manchester, is it not possible to sell at least 1 copy of the Grenzpost 
there? ‘
