[Manchester,] Wednesday, [27 April 1853] 

Dear Marx, 

If there is nothing better you can do about the bill, send it to 
me by return (in time for Friday's American post). I think I can 
get it cashed for you by a Yankee or at any rate advance you £10 
against it pending receipt of the balance—i.e., you can’t have the 
money before 1 May, but on 2 May you will receive the £10 
without fail. Write and tell me whether in these circumstances you 
will be able to come here, and do come if at all possible; then you 
can send the money to your wife yourself. 

At any rate, keep me informed, so that I’m Not ovT oF THE way 
when you arrive. 

P. Ermen’s old library will again be at our disposal. 

Your 
FL. E
