Manchester, 24 May [1852] 

Dear Marx, 

If you intend to wait ull Friday before leaving by boat for 
Liverpool, you won't be here till Monday evening, perhaps not tll 
Tuesday morning. If you are absolutely intent on coming by sea, 
arrange to come via Hull—a boat leaves the City three or four 
times a week at 8 o’clock in the morning and the journey doesn’t 
take so long—you would have to leave on Wednesday morning, or 
Thursday morning at the latest, the fare to Hull being 6/6d, and 
from Hull to’ here 3rd class, some seven or eight shillings. You 
must be here by Friday afternoon, so that we can leave for 
Liverpool at about 6 o’clock the same evening. The Parliamentary 
Train '* direct from London leaves too late to be any good to you on 
Friday. You can take the sea-route from Liverpool] on the return 
journey.

The story about Willich is most entertaining. So fate has caught 
up with that pure and noble man after all!
