|Manchester,} [25]* September 185] 

Dear Marx, 

Your letter has arrived. Will write about Techow’s erudition 
tomorrow. Kinkel’s begging letter to New Orleans is very 
charming, but unfortunately I only saw the French version. Mr 
Stechan must also be in London by now; should he fail to 
announce himself, you will be absolutely right to leave the fellow 
to his own devices and to wait and see what happens before 
allowing anyone to take his side. Those released in Paris, of whom 
there is word in today’s papers, will doubtless include Mr Conrad.° 
I, too, was much annoyed by the stupidity of the German 
newspapers in laying Willich’s document *** at our door. However, 
it will soon transpire that we have nothing to do with this 
wretched screed. Par dieu, nous en avons assez sur les bras* with other 
people’s documents, as regards both style and content. Herewith 
article No. 34 for New York, at least a little less trashy than No. 2. 
1 shall shortly be tackling No. 4. 

4 Manuscript damaged - » Conrad Schramm - ¢ By God, we have enough on our 
hands - 4 F. Engels, Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Germany. Article III. 

You might from time to time send me an American paper sous 
bande,* it being occasionally desirable to see the muck in natura. I 
shall shortly be sending you another rot or stars for this purpose. 

Adieu! 

Your 
F. E.
