ENGELS TO FRIEDRICH ADOLPH SORGE

IN HOBOKEN

London, 1 May 1883

Dear Sorge,

So as to obtain a good photograph of Marx, we have ordered from Mayall, the leading photographer here, who took the last ones of him,

1,000 cartes de visite

i. e. approx. 3d. apiece;

200 CABINET SIZE, 3/4 figure, à £8 i. e. approx. 9d. apiece of the last nice one.

You can have some of these at cost price— I have also offered them to Liebknecht and Bernstein in Zurich.[1] If the above quantity does not suffice, no doubt we shall be able to get hold of more, but a quick decision is necessary.

Your

F. Engels
