ENGELS TO LAURA LAFARGUE
IN PARIS
London, 14 December 1882
My dear Laura,
I received your letter last night at half past nine, too late even to send a line by this morning's post, as foreign letters posted up here after nine are not forwarded until next evening.
I had scarcely any money in the house, and had given Percy[1] a cheque to cash for me today in town. But he will not be here before six at best, also too late to send you a banknote by 5.30 mail. However as soon as I get the money I shall forward one so as to help you over the first few days. No doubt Paul[2] will fare as Guesde and Bazin did and be at liberty if not to-day, at least to-morrow, as soon as the comedy of an examination before the austere Piquand shall have been gone through. I forwarded both Paul's and your letter to Mohr, and told Nim[3] about the affair this morning.
More anon, when I shall be able to send substantial comfort.
Yours affectionately,
F. Engels
