ENGELS TO MARX

IN LONDON

[Manchester,] Thursday, 6 July 1854

Dear Marx,

I hope the £5 arrived. Enclosed an article for tomorrow, which covers the first phase of the war.[1]

If the fellows are really going to send French troops to the Baltic, they must at least take [the] Aland [Islands]. That would be the best thing.

Enclosed a hymn. Query:

1. What century'? 2'. Who wrote it'? Reply by return, please.

Your

F. E.

  1. ↑ F. Engels, 'The War on the Danube'.
