My dear Harney
You will have got the few lines I sent you through Colonel Willich. This is to inform you, and by you Marx, that I am this morning arrived here in Genova, & that, wind and weather favourable, I am going to under sail for London to-morrow morning by on board the English Schooner Cornish Diamond, Captn Stevens. My journey will be of about 4 or 5 weeks. so that by the middle of November I shall be in London.
I am very happy to have found so soon an opportunity of leaving this damned police-atmosphere — indeed I never saw it so organized as here in Piedmont.
Ever truly thine
F. Engels
Genova, Oct. 5th 1849
