Dear Engels, 

The enclosed letter from Dana will tell you about the American 
Crisis as FAR AS I AM affected By It. Upon my demanding that all or 

4 T expect [something from] you - » Poor devil. 

nothing should appear under my name, they replied by confining 
me solely to eprrortat articies at half the previous rate. For the time 
being I have written to Dana telling him that I have not yet 
reached any decision” but shall in THE MEANWHILE go on as before 
sending 2 articles a week, because of the Sevastopol business,”” on 
the one hand, and of my sxercues of the Spanish Revolution in the 
nineteenth century on the other, which must be completed before 
the Cortes meets. In the meantime we can consider what definite 
answer to give the gentlemen. 

I cannot write more than this today since I am busy just now 
dictating my article,** but should have written to you at greater 
length had you not announced last Tuesday week that I would be 
getting a ‘long’ letter,’ which I have been waiting for in order to 

reply to it. 
Salut. 
Your 
K. M.
