MARX TO ENGELS

IN MANCHESTER

[London,] 19 March [1858]

Dear Engels,

My article[1] leaves no time for a letter today. Only this much. Rather than let yourself be held up any longer by a search for material, DROP 'Bülow', about whom I have sufficient for A COMMON BIOGRAPHY (brief), and get ON WITH 'CAVALRY'. Periculum in mora![2] Secondly, I enclose a few delectable DOCUMENTS on the ITALIAN CONGRESS HOAX from the Star.[3]

Your letter of today c largely used in my article.

Salut.

Your

K. M.
