ENGELS TO HALLIDAY SPARLING

IN LONDON

[London,] 7 December 1886 122 Regent's Park Road, N. W.

Dear Sir,

For your private information I beg to say that at present there is no English translation published of the work alluded to by you.[1]

I make this information private as I cannot see the use of having such things published in The Commonweal.

Yours truly,

F. Engels
