ENGELS TO PASQUALE MARTIGNETTI

IN BENEVENTO

London, 18 October 1892

Dear Friend,

The business of the duchessb has been cleared up. I only knew the lady by her married name of Mrs Edgren and was unaware that her maiden name was Miss Leffler.

Unfortunately Mrs Aveling had lost the duchessas address and had some difficulty in getting hold of it. That too has now been sorted out. Mrs Aveling has written to her about you warmly recommending you, so all you have to do is hand over the enclosed note. 25 I wish you success!

I presume that it is you that I again have to thank for the translation of the last part of my German preface to the Lage, etc.[1]

I am working on Volume II I of Marx's Capital, and have to devote every available moment to it—hence must be brief while remaining

Yours,

F. Engels
