MARX TO ENGELS
IN MANCHESTER
[London,] 26 April 1869
DEAR FRED,
BEST THANKS FOR THE INVITATION. But it is quite impossible for me TO LEAVE AT THIS MOMENT. My wife is coughing badly, and I am waiting that out; as soon as she can travel, she will go to Paris TO FETCH TUSSY.[1] I shall perhaps come u p with the latter.
In addition there are some things to put in order in the International this week, which won't get going without me.[2]
And finally, however bad I might feel, I have to complete CERTAIN SLIPS OF PAPER, since it is always difficult to continue, not with A NEW SUBJECT, but in the middle of a certain topic.
WITH ALL THAT, if I don't get better, I shall naturally have to go away.
More tomorrow.
Your
K. M.
