ENGELS TO LAURA LAFARGUE

IN LONDON

[London,] 15 October 1874
122 Regent's Park Road, N. W.

My dear Laura,

If I sent you only one of the three articles[1] it was, firstly, because I thought you would have had the two previous ones from your Mama and, secondly, because of No. 1 I had given the few extra copies I had to the Poles for propaganda, and because of No. 2 I had no extra copies at all. I send you now my copy of No. 1 which I shall thank you to return at your convenience; as to No. 2 I have lent it to a friend and as usual not received it back, so that I must get it first before I can send it to you.

Of the Bauernkrieg* I expect to be able to send you, in a few weeks, a new edition with a few words added to the introduction,[2] but otherwise unaltered; as usual, the notice given me was too short.

With kindest regards to Lafargue.

I remain

very affectionately yours,

F. Engels

Mrs Engels[3] sends her kindest regards to you both.
