Manchester, 3 December 1863 
Dear Moor, 

Herewith U/O 16055 & 56, two fivers, im all £10, dated 
Manchester, 13 Jan. ’63, for your trip to Trier. I trust our 

a Henriette Marx - > Cf. Luke 10:33.34. 

compatriots’ Schleswig-Holstein enthusiasm won’t spoil your visit 
too much. I’ve swotted up the whole question *** and have come to 
the conclusion 

1. that the Schl.-Holst. theory is a lot of rubbish; 

2. that in’ Holstein the Augustenburg fellow would certainly 
seem to be in the right*”; 

3. that in Schleswig it’s difficult to say who is entitled to 
succeed—but the male line, if at all, only as Denmark’s vassal; 

4. that the London Protocol is certainly valid in Denmark, but is 
certainly not so in Schleswig and Holstein because the Estates were 
not consulted; 

5, that the German right to Schleswig is confined to the south, 
which is German by nationality and free choice, so that Schleswig 
would have to be partitioned; 

6. that at present Germany’s only chance of liberating the 
Duchies lies in our starting a war against Russia for the benefit of 
Poland. Then Louis Napoleon would be our obedient servant, 
Sweden would instantly throw herself into our arms, and England, 
hoc est* Pam, would be hamstrung; then we could take anything we 
liked from Denmark with impunity. 

Tem is my sentiments. I’d like to enlarge upon them in a 
pamphlet, if you could find a publisher for it in Germany.” 
Needless to say, I'd put my name to it. Qu’en dis-tu?” 

Lupus is better, but still a bit unsteady on his pins. 

Many regards to the ramny. I was damned glad to see your 
scratchy scrawl again. 

Your 
F. E.
