MARX TO ENGELS

IN MANCHESTER

[London,] 4 August [1860]

Dear Frederick,

Have sent the £5 to Weber. I am getting on with the pamphlet[1] as fast as I can. What hinders me somewhat is the inability to write on certain days when my state of health is particularly "orrible'.[2]

I've decided, by the by, to go on to the Supreme Tribunal officials. They are now on vacation. Before they sit again, my pamphlet will have appeared (and with it my critique of the Prussian proceedings to date). We won't let the chaps off without a tremendous scandal.

Write something about Garibaldi for me by Wednesday.[3]

Salut.

Your

K. M.
