ENGELS TO MARX”? 

Manchester, 29 May 1862 

Dear Moor, 

Herewith the Post Office Order for £2, payable Kentish Town, 
which, if I’m not mistaken, is the office closest to you. 

Siebel has been blessed with a baby daughter. 

Anneke is with Buell’s amy and, as from today, will be writing 
for the Augsburg paper.* I feel somewhat anxious about Halleck’s 
troops; the thing’s been dragging on so long and he would 
not seem to be getting any reinforcements after all,”° although 
Spence’s lies in The Times certainly do not mean anything.” Willich is 
colonel (tHE ETERNAL colonel!) commanding the 32nd Indiana 
Regiment. 

As for the business of Klein,© I am heartily glad for his sake, 
poor devil. Pll return Eichhoff’s letter to you as soon as I’ve read 
it to Lupus, but I can’t go and see him at the moment, as I have a 
swollen tonsil, which has kept me at home these past few evenings. 

It now seems as though some kind of guerrilla warfare has 
started up after all, but certainly nothing of any significance and, 
should there be just one victory, reinforcements will move up 
together with some cavalry and soon put paid to the thing. A 
defeat might well prove disastrous. 

Your 
F. E.
