{London,] 6 May [1862] 

Dear Frederick, 

As soon as you have shown it to Lupus, send back the enclosed, 
exceedingly odd letter, which was published, although mutilated, 
in the Siécle, the Temps and the Progres de Lyon. by the jeunesse 
hongroise @ Paris? and sent to me by Schily.*” This same ‘jeunesse’ 
now proposes to let loose a pamphlet containing remarkable 
revelations about the Kossuth-Klapka-Türr triumvirate in Paris. 

Apropos. You might communicate the facts contained in the 
letter to Eichhoff, 57 Ranelagh Street, Liverpool. He can get the 
thing into the Zeitung ftir Norddeutschland (Hanover). 

A little while ago, so Schily writes, the Bern Bund? (mightn’t you 
be able to look this up at the Club?) carried a statement by a 
Hungarian refugee in which Vogt is called ‘the Palais Royal’s 
fattened sow’, while Fazy, Kossuth, Klapka, and Türr figure as 
‘scoundrels and gamblers’. 

I have got back 330 copies of Vogt from that blackguard Koller. 
If only I knew of an opening! Might this not be the moment to 
dispose of them at a 100 p.c. loss? I. e., in Geneva and Bern. How 
opportune that would be just now! 

I shall send you the April and May numbers of the Press“ In 
future you shall have them regularly. I shall procure the other 
stuff for you, Le. the estimates. 

As to wine, what the children most prefer; of course, is a motley 
collection. I believe that, according to Allen, claret and port are 
best. 

I shall write to Dana again. I sorely miss their sending me the 
Tribune. This is a rotten trick of Greeley’s and McElrath’s. I 
discovered two things in the final March numbers of the Tribune. 
First, that McClellan had been fully informed a week beforehand 
about the withdrawal of the Confederates.° Secondly, that during
