Dear Frederic, 

I have another letter from Germany to send on to you. But 
since you haven't yet acknowledged receipt either of the Parcel or 
of the letter enclosing Miquel’s,” I don’t know whether these things 
have reached you. Let me know by return. In the case of 
compromising letters, it’s essential to be sure they are delivered. 

Salut. 
Your 

K. M.

[London,} 8 May‘ 1856 
28 Dean Street, Soho 
Dear Frederic, 

Received your letter. My PRESSURE UPON yOu iN YESTERDAY'S LETTER 
explicable d’abord’ by the fact that an earlier parcel of my wife’s 

a Napoleon III - > See previous letter. - © April in the original - 4 first of all 

did not arrive in Manchester, although sent by post. Secondly, 
however, you know how a man feels when he’s kept on the hop by 
piles. And such a man am I. 

I am glad to hear that you and Lupus are entirely of my 
opinion with regard to Miquel’s letter™—the attempt to digest this 
‘wisdom’ fairly ‘turned my stomach’. 

Unless something goes wrong with the pecuniary arrangements 
I have made, my family will be leaving in 10 to 14 days at the 
latest. A pity you are so overworked, otherwise we might have 
done un petit tour” to Scotland. 

I shall carry out your commissions at the Museum‘ as soon as I 
go there again. 

Enclosed: 

2 letters, 1. from Imandt; 2. from Cologne.” Would it not be 
best if I replied to the Cologne people through my wife? There 
EXISTS SOME JEALOUSY between Cologne and Düsseldorf as To THE LEADING 
OF THE PROLETARIAN MOVEMENT. Besiwes, I don’t know whether the 
Cologne people are aware that the Disseldorfers have completely 
broken with Lassalle who has fallen into general disrepute among 
them. 

Yesterday the following comical missive arrived from Sheffield: 

*Council Hall, Sheffield, 

Doctor, May 6th, °56. 

The Sheffield Foreign Affairs Committee 57 instructs me to convey to you an 
expression of their warm thanks for the great public service you have rendered by 
your admirable exposé of the Kars Papers published in The People’s Paper. I have 
the Honour etc. 

Cyples, Secretary.* 

That is magnanimous, there being war to the death between The 
People’s Paper and The Free Press, as between Chartism and 
Urquhartism generally.*? The great Ironside went one step further 
and decreed THAT THE ‘THANKS OF THE COUNTRY’ WERE DUE TO Dr. M.* Etc. It 
would have been much better had the chaps sent me the money 
they made out by reprinting the Palmerston articles under the title 
Story of the Life etc. (in pamphlet form).™ 

From New York Seiler has sent me—came today—‘Das Recht 
deutscher vereinigter Staatenbiirger in Europa’ in the Democrat! 
Will never be read, not in this world at any rate. 

Since handing over your £2 to Pieper I haven’t set eyes on him. 
Moreover, Jones has sent word that, up till yesterday evening, he 
had not delivered the work he had accepted for The People’s Paper.
