ENGELS TO RICHARD FISCHER
IN BERLIN
London, 18 April 1895
41 Regent's Park Road, N. W.
Dear Fischer,
One further matter: Would you please take another look at the old Rheinische Zeitung with regard to the Mosel articles 584 to find out whether some sort of polemic may not have arisen over the things and if so whether there are also articles under Marx's usual pseudonym and written in his own style—short, antithetically expressed sentences—as well as any other shorter articles under the same pseudonym and stylistically the same. If there are, let me know.
I can no longer remember my own articles—the best of them fell foul of the censor—or even my pseudonym; most of the longer ones, i.e. those that are not merely day to day reports, are in the supplement or the feuilleton.
In addition to the articles in the Rheinische Zeitung, 578 I have discovered
another one by Marx dating from the same period and also dealing with the machinations of the censor.[1] This can be printed with the remainder but no one must get wind of it since it, too, appeared anonymously. It will run to between 11/2 and 2 sheets. I may possibly discover some other shorter pieces, in which case we shall have collected all the main items from Marx's pre-socialist period. Meanwhile see to it that a copy is sent off to me quickly and we can then agree upon our next move.
Yours
F.E.
