MARX TO CARL SIEBEL

IN BARMEN

[London,] 3 January 1861

Dear Siebel,

I have just noticed that a letter I sent you—in reply to the one received from you today—was wrongly addressed, namely, Elber- feld, poste restante, C. Siebel, jun. This I now rectify.

Again my best wishes. I have just heard from Engels 2 3 2 who tells me that the busybody Dr Borchardt is most annoyed because I refer in Herr Vogt to the '3 German physicians'[1] in Manchester as fellow SUBSCRIBERS to Das Volk.[2] POOR FELLOW, THIS FULL-MOUTHED WISEACRE.

Salut.

Your

K. M.
