[Manchester, about 24 April 1854] 

Dear Marx, 

It’s absolutely impossible to do the things for The Times until I 
have more material, i. e. in a week or fortnight. I shall then finish 
them off straight away. 

As regards Schimmelpfennig,* I shall write something with 
Heise. The thing must be done in such a way that the fellow can’t 
reply, hence very accurately or not at all. 

Something must be done about Heise; matters cannot continue 
very much longer as they are. So I am writing to Cluss today,” 
asking him to tell me whether he can put Heise in touch with an 
Anglo-American paper—the fellow writes passable English—and 
2. whether the Reform could pay him. Both of these on condition 
that Eccarius will not suffer as a result, for he, after all, has first 
claim. I have informed Cluss that if there is any objection of this 
kind you will advise him by next Tuesday’s sreamer. At the same 
time I notified Cluss of the Schimmelpfennig article, so that they 
don’t do anything stupid in New York. 

I can’t write another word today. 

Your 
F. E. 
Kossuth— magnificent! *”
