[Manchester,] Wednesday [26 February 1851]

Dear Marx,

I have just come upon your 2nd letter. I at once wrote another one to Harney: if you approve of it, send it on to him forthwith.’ This infamous affair is altogether too much, and he’s got to be made aware of the fact. If he allies himself with the others, tant pis pour lui,” 1 care THE DEVIL.

Enclosed a letter which looks very odd to me.*” What’s behind the whole business? I don’t know to what extent red Wolff‘ is his own master. Besides, there’s so much that’s crack-brained about the letter that I can’t reply to it without having further information. So Jet me know at once what kind of a popce this is and return the piffle to me. One o’clock in the morning.

Your F. E.

Having no stamps, I shan’t be able to put any on this letter as I am now going out to post it.
