ENGELS TO STOJAN NOKOFF

IN GENEVA

London, 9 June 1893 122 Regent's Park Road, N. W.

Dear citizen Nokoff,

A thousand thanks for the trouble you have taken in being the intermediary between the editorial board and myself, and dispatching No. 2 of the Bulgarian Social-Demokrat. I, for my part, dare to count on your good will in asking you to forward the lines enclosed to his address.[1] If it is not too much to ask, I would be grateful if you would let me know, merely by postcard, whether I am mistaken in identifying Sevlievo[2] as the town otherwise known as Philippopolis? I do not have a Bulgarian dictionary, my Serbian dictionary offers no clarification, but I have the vague impression of having read somewhere that this was the Bulgarian name of this town. 222 If I am correct, you need not reply.

Yours sincerely,

F. Engels
