Dear Engels, 

I have just been with Freiligrath to see Gerstenberg and there is 
some prospect of having the bill discounted by Friday or at least of 
obtaining an advance on it. No go with Strohn, or course. So there 
is still a possibility of coming to you—which I greatly wish to do. 

I should be obliged if you would answer by return the following 
enquiry little Bamberger asked me to pass on to you (the fellow 
might come in useful now or at any time): 

Madapolams for the Italian market Good houses to 
Printed CalicOs ....cccccccscceeeeeteeteeeeseteseeeees ditto buy from in 
Straw manufacturing houses ...............4. ditto Manchester 

Received the article’ and £1 for Pieper and Dronke. 

I know now for certain that my information about Mazzini’s 
presence in London* was correct. 

Hirsch was at the Russian consul’s the day before yesterday, and 
on the same day at Fleury’s house with Stieber and Goldheim. 

Your 
K. M.
