Messrs Hoffmann and Campe, Booksellers, in Hamburg 
Julius Campe, Esq. 

Dear Sir, 

Engels and J have written a pamphlet of some ten sheets against 
Bruno Bauer and his supporters.’ 

It deals with themes from philosophy, history and idealism, 
contains a critique of the Mystéres de Paris,” etc., and will not be 
without interest for Germany. Nor, by and large, will it be 
objectionable to the censors. 

Should you wish to undertake its publication, I would request 
you to reply forthwith, since the pamphlet cannot but lose in 
interest if printing is delayed.° If Heine is still in Hamburg, would 
you be so kind as to convey to him my best thanks for the poems 
he sent. I have not yet advertised them, as I wish to advertise the 
first part, the ballads, at the same time.’ 

Yours faithfully 

Dr Marx
