London, 13 May 1850 

Mr Th. Schuster in Frankfurt a. M. 

Through Mr Weydemeyer of that city we have received for the 
account of the Refugee Committee there *’ £10.0s.0d. n/c* on Mr 
Stiebel here, of receipt and due entry of which we herewith 
gratefully advise you. 

Should it be possible to send us further donations from there or 
the vicinity for the refugees here, we should be most grateful to 
you. The number of refugees grows daily, and the above £10 is 
barely sufficient to meet the most pressing day-to-day require- 
ments for a week. Funds are beginning to come in less plentifully, 
while on the other hand the refugees now in need of assistance 
almost exclusively belong to occupations offering little if any 
prospect of employment here. 

Greeting and Fraternity 
The Social-Democratic Refugee Committee 
F[oreign] D{epartment] 

F. Engels 
Secretary 

It is requested that all donations be sent through Mr 
Weydemeyer to Mr Marx or Mr C. Pfander, 21 King Street, Soho 
Square, London.
