ENGELS TO FRIEDRICH LESSNER

IN LONDON

London, 15 March 1883

Dear Lessner,

At three o'clock yesterday our old friend Marx went gently and peacefully to his eternal rest; the immediate cause of death was, or so we presume, an internal haemorrhage.

The funeral will take place on Saturday[1] at 12 noon, and Tussy asks you to attend.

In great haste,

Your

F. Engels
