[Manchester,] 2 February 1852 

Dear Marx, 

Do you recall a refugee by the name of Richter from Torgau 
(Prussian Saxony), a saddler and upholsterer—who used to be in 
London? This man, whom I recall having seen in London—tall,

So far, I’ve been able to discover nothing in The Times about 
the business of our people in Cologne.* I am only awaiting your 
reply to write immediately, sil y a lieu,” to The Daily News. The 
American STEAMER is in but, much to my surprise, no letter from 
Weydemeyer, or any copies of the paper, at least up till now. 
However, it’s still possible that these may arrive tomorrow. 

Your 
F. E. 

Tell Pieper [I shall shortly be sending him his £2, now the new 
month has begun.
