ENGELS TO HERMANN SCHLÜTER

IN HOTTINGEN-ZURICH

[London, 1 October 1884]

Dear Mr Schlüter,

Proofs[1] received with thanks and returned. I now only await clean proofs 8-9. Should they contain no mistakes to speak of, a list of printing errors will not be necessary.

Rodbertus' Erkenntniss etc.[2] is advertised by Fock of Leipzig à 4.20 marks. I should be glad to buy a copy at this price, if not less.

There does exist a French speech by Marx on the subject of free trade[3] but none, so far as I am aware, on protective tariffs. It would hardly be suitable for translation as a book on its own, but if Ede wishes to use it as an appendix to the German Poverty, it wouldn't be a bad idea and I could send my copy.

Yours sincerely,

F. E.
