ENGELS TO HENRI RAVÉ

AT POITIERS

[Draft]

[London,] 7 April [1891]

If you were to set to work about the 15th of this month, you would be able to send Lafargue the first chapter about the beginning of May and so on, chapter by chapter, as and when you complete them.[1] You will have finished the whole lot by about the end of June and in July you should, I hope, have the proofs of the new edition[2] ; but that does not depend upon me alone. Thus we should probably be able to bring it out in September.[3]
