ENGELS TO KARL KAUTSKY

IN STUTTGART

London, 16 July 1894
122 Regent's Park Road, N. W.

Dear Baron,

My article on early Christianity[1] goes off by registered mail today to the Editor, Neue Zeit, Furthbachstr. 12, as does this letter, since I have not got your exact address in Hirsau and do not know how long you will be staying there.

Since the ms. is barely legible and contains many corrections, I should be glad if you could send me the galley proofs. No doubt minor amendments and additions would be admissible in the case of such comprehensive material.

There was indeed a slip of the pen in the passage from Das Kapital, Chapter 23, and you did me a real service in pointing it out.[2]

Because of sundry business matters I cannot go away at the moment. At the beginning of August I hope to be able to go to the seaside. Nothing will come of a trip to the Continent this year. At this precise moment it is raining cats and dogs.

Kindest regards from one household to the other.

Yours,

F.E.
