MARX TO ENGELS*” 

London, 19 November 1852 
28 Dean Street, Soho 

Dear Engels, 

Last Wednesday,* at my suggestion, the League here” disbanded; 
similarly the continued existence of the League on the Continent 
was declared to be no longer expedient. In any case, since the arrest 
of Burgers-Roser, it had to all intents and purposes already ceased to 
exist there. Enclosed a statement for the English papers, to 
complement our first one.’ You should, however, put it into 
better and conciser English. I no longer have the German 
* original.©°” In addition I am writing for a lithographed article a 
detailed account of the dirty tricks played by the police," and also 
an appeal to America for money for the prisoners and their 
families. Treasurer Freiligrath. Signed by all our people.** 

The article for the Tribune however, is dependent on the time 
at your disposal. You must return the enclosed statement, or 
rather an amended version of the same, as soon as possible, since 
not a day longer is to be lost where the London press is 
concerned. 

Regards to Weerth. 

Your 
K. Marx
