Cologne, 13 November 1848

Dear Lassalle,

At your democratic-monarchist club [237] you should resolve the following:

1. General refusal to pay taxes — to be advocated specially in rural areas;

2. Dispatch of volunteer corps to Berlin;

3. Cash remittance to the Democratic Central Committee in

Berlin.[238]

For the Rhenish Democratic Provincial Committee [239]

K. Marx

(Private)
Dear Lassalle,

If you could send me some money, whether it be the 200 talers or the amount for the loan certificates, you would greatly oblige me. Send it to my wife, Cecilienstrasse 7. I have had a summons [240] today and it is generally believed that I shall be arrested tomorrow.

Your
Marx
