MARX TO ENGELS

IN MANCHESTER

[London,] 30 December [1857]

Dear Frederick,

Come what may I shall have to deal with the Lucknow-Oudh affair on FRIDAY (1ST OF JANUARY). Could you let me have ANY ARTICLE, HOWEVER SHORT, on this subject by the day after tomorrow.[1] IT WOULD

BE EXTREMELY SEASONABLE.

A happy New Year to you.

Your

K. M.

The enclosed greetings are not to be handed to Lupus until New Year's Day.

  1. In reply to this request Engels wrote the article 'The Siege and Storm of Lucknow'.
