ENGELS TO STANISLAW MENDELSON

IN LONDON

[Draft]

[London,] 31 March 1891

Dear Citizen Mendelson,

I have just received the letter a copy of which is enclosed here- with. 202 I have absolutely no knowledge of how things stand between you and Wrôblewski. It is a matter that does not concern me in the slightest.^[1] But in view of the delicate situation in which this letter has placed me, I have no choice — and I think you will agree with me

here — other than to inform you of the above and to advise Wrôblew- ski of your address. Please, therefore, come to an understanding with him direct.

I trust you have almost finished moving house. I know only too well how disagreeable these things are. Mrs Mendelson, to whom kindly remember me, must have had quite enough of it.

Yours ever,

F. E.

Mrs Kautsky sends her regards both to you and to Mrs Mendelson.
