Manchester, 19 February 1852 

Dear Marx, 

Despite tremendous efforts—your letter only arrived this 
morning—I have still not finished the article for Dana? and it is 
now 11 o’clock at night. I have received the Bauer ‘—it is coming 
in very useful. In return, and whatever happens, you will receive 2 
articles for Dana for next Tuesday’s streamer. Since your letters 
reach Weydemeyer and mine don’t, I’d be glad if you would 
forthwith dispatch the enclosed note to W.‘ in one of your own. 
It’s an altogether curious business. It seems that two or three of 
my letters to my old man have also failed to reach him. Cela n’est 
pas clair 

Tell Jones he will be getting something from me next week, or 
write him a note to that effect. God knows why so many snags 
should crop up all at once and prevent me from getting down to 
anything. But on Saturday and Sunday I shall shut myself away, 
and then I hope to get something done."

Act. V, Scene 16). 

Why doesn’t that accursed Weydemeyer enclose Simon’s article* 
so-that we can attend to it ourselves? A stinging counter-article 
would soon show Dana that nothing is to be gained by accepting 
articles that attack us.

Write some time giving me the exact address under which you 
have written to Weydemeyer.
