MARX TO ENGELS

IN MANCHESTER

[London, 14 November 1862]

Dear Engels,

Since you have just sent money to Eccarius and, on top of that, paid out the large sum for Lassalle's bill,[1] you will, of course, be very blanc! Nevertheless, I must ask you to send me a small sum by Monday,[2] for I have to buy coal and 'victuals', which, SINCE the épicier[3] has been refusing me credit for the past 3 weeks, I must, nevertheless, buy from him cash down until the swine has been paid off, otherwise I shall be prosecuted.

Salut.

Your

K. M.
