Horkheimer promised the same collaboration to Marcuse and to Adorno.

Evidence

Marcuse heard from Neumann that Horkheimer, before leaving for the west coast, had on the one hand said that Marcuse was to help him with his work on the dialectics book, and on the other had said that Marcuse should try to get some lecturing work and look for a university post. Horkheimer himself had told Marcuse that he wanted to write the book in collaboration with him. But Adorno’s story was that Horkheimer wanted to write the book in collaboration with him, Adorno. Marcuse was the first to join Horkheimer on the west coast. He was informed, as soon as he arrived, that his salary was to be cut immediately. β€” Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 285
