Manchester, 27 February 1865 

Dear Moor, 

As you had positively promised to take the necessary steps 
regarding the newspapers* immediately Meissner sent a positive 
reply, I counted on it that this had been done. Meanwhile, today I 
dispatched the necessary to Siebel,” Liebknecht and Klein in 
Cologne (for the Rheinische Zeitung),’” as there is no time to lose. 
If you have anyone else who can do anything, please write to 
them—prrnars Kugelmann? His letter returned enclosed, ditto 
Miquel whose high-faluting refashioning of the theory into a 
platform for mayoral dignity and bourgeois benevolence greatly 
amused me.'*! It is more or less how Heinrich Bürgers will view 
the world if he should ever become mayor of Nippes or 
Kalscheuren. 

Jones has got sessions again, I have not been able to see him yet. 
More tomorrow, 7 o’clock has just struck and I must post this 
letter. 

Your 
F. E. 

a Engels refers to the publication of a notice about his pamphlet The Prussian 
Military Question and the German Workers’ Party (see this volume, p. 84). - > See this 
volume, pp. 111-12. 

I have no port wine in the warexouse and will have to get hold of 
some first, but will do so immediately.
