[London,] 16 June 1851 
28 Dean Street, Soho 

Dear Engels, 

Daniels’ house has been searched and he himself arrested. I 
don’t think anything was found there.** 

This morning I received a letter, obviously in Daniels’ handwrit- 
ing but unsigned, informing me of the above and asking me to 
remove ail letters since it had been learnt from a ‘reliable’ (thus 
in the original) source that house searches would also be taking 
place here in England. 

Whether that is legally possible I don’t know. At any rate, 
I shall remove everything. You, too, would be well-advised to 
burn all—irrelevant—letters and to deposit the rest, those con- 
taining any data and the like, under seal with Mary* or your 
clerk. 

It seems probable that an introduction from Daniels was found 
on Jacobi. 

This morning at the same time I received, through a merchant, 
a letter from Weydemeyer, who is in hiding near Frankfurt. I 
enclose that letter. Do you happen to know the exact ratio, home 
to foreign, of Britain’s trade, a figure which Weydemeyer wishes 
to know? The thing has changed significantly of late. 

Salut! 

Your 
K. Marx
