[London,] 21 January 1853 

Dear Engels, 

If at all possible, kindly translate the whole of the enclosed * and 
send it off direct from Manchester (signing it with my name) via 
Liverpool or Southampton, depending on sailings, to ‘A. Dana, 
One of the Editors of the “New-York Tribune”, New York’. 

This is how matters stand: 

Now that our misfortunes here have reached a cimax, I have 
drawn £20 on Greeley for 10 articles (including the enclosed) and 
have written, telling him that the copyist has not quite finished 
copying the article (which must therefore be dated Friday), and 
that it will be sent off to him on Tuesday. | have charged him £2 per 
article, which is what Dana promised in his letter of 16 December 

2 more or less - > Marie Blank - © K. Marx, Revelations Concerning the Communist 
Trial in Cologne (see this volume, p. 264). - ¢ K. Marx, ‘Elections.— Financial 
Clouds.—The Duchess of Sutherland and Slavery’. 

1851, a promise he has so far failed to keep (in respect of current 
LETTERS).>" 

The little Jew Bamberger has not yet given me a centime but I 
have his promise and shall by degrees extract at least £15 from 
him against the bill (pending its arrival). 

Now that we are charging £2, the above article must be sent off in 
its entirety. The piece about the Duchess of Sutherland will cause 
an uproar in America. 

Apropos, Blind has already dunned me twice for Herzen’s 
book.’ So you must return it to me. 

It is 2 o’clock in the morning. Hence I cannot now have this 
letter stamped, and must send it off unstamped. 

Your 
K. M.
