MARX TO ENGELS

IN MANCHESTER

[London, about 11 March 1854]

DEAR Frederic,

Enclosed a letter from Lassalle.[1]

You would greatly oblige me by letting me have some military stuff for Tuesday.[2] The 2nd edition of The Times, which you'll get on Monday, contains sundry things on Shamyl, etc. If I don't produce anything on military affairs, even though it be only tittle-tattle, A.P.C.[3] will steal a march on me; he cribs unblushingly from the London newspapers.

Your

K. M.
