{London,] 29 June 1853 
28 Dean Street, Soho 

Dear Engels, 

My sister and her newly wedded husband‘, who is sailing from 
here. to the Cape of Good Hope as a GENERAL DEALER, have 
unexpectedly descended on me. This, combined with the work for 
the Tribune and some unpleasantness to be cleared up in America, 
has made considerable demands on my time. The couple set out 
tomorrow, I believe. I hear from Imandt that your mother is 
expected in London, from which I conclude that you, too, will 
turn up soon. 

Enclosed Lassalle’s instructions for the dispatch of the copies* to 
Germany. My wife will undertake their dispatch to Manchester. 
I hope that you people will then take care of the matter up 
there. Haven’t you seen anything of Jones? He’s roaming about in 
your part of the world and is said to have brought off a monster 
meeting in Halifax.*” 

Last Wednesday, much to my astonishment, I received a very 
peevish letter from Cluss, in which he said someone had written 
telling him that Pieper had described him to Schlager—him and 
Arnold—as ‘subordinate agents’, and himself, on the contrary, as 
the one who supplied news ‘at first-hand’, etc., etc. Fortunately

there isn’t a word of truth in the whole thing, which is merely an 
attempt by Willich, Anneke, Weitling and Co.’s party to sow 
dissension amongst our own ranks, and, more particularly, to 
neutralise ‘that most unpleasant man, Cluss’. The necessary 
explanations were, of course, dispatched across the water at 
once.*”’ | am unable to find Cluss’ first letter, but enclose the 2nd. 
Before leaving for Manchester I borrowed £2 from the little 
Jew Bamberger. The fellow keeps sending me strongly-worded 
reminders, if not threats. Mais nous verrons.* By Friday I shall have 
£20 to draw on New York. But again the question is how? 
Enclosed the nec plus ultra? of Heinzen’s now sanguinary 
cowardice and aversion to ‘ordinary methods of warfare’ “ 
I was mistaken about the ‘Swiss article’,? Dana having divided 
the thing into two parts,* but published both under my name. 
Until next time, then. My worthy sister and brother-in-law have 
just come in. My sister is very stout and will sweat damnably while 
crossing the Equator.
