MARX TO ENGELS
IN MANCHESTER
[London,] 29 April 1870
Dear FRED,
POOR Schapper died yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. Enclosed, 3 issues of Marseillaise containing J. Williams.[1] I must have them back (with the Swiss Egalité and Solidarité) because of notes for the GENERAL COUNCIL,[2] for which I have not yet found time. (Don't send back the Spanish papers.) Ditto, latest Vorbote. You will see from this that Becker has broken openly with Bakunin.
(Don't send back.) Finally, ONE COPY of the Russian translation of our Communist Manifesto for you. I saw in the Werker, etc., that the Kolokol publishing house, which was willed to Bakunin, also includes 'this stuff, so ordered 6 copies from Geneva.[3] It's very interesting for us.
Addio OLD BOY. COMPLIMENTS TO MRS Lizzy, Jollymeyer AND Moore.

- ↑ Jenny Marx, see this volume, p. 503.
- ↑ A reference TO ENGELS' intention to write a review of Volume One of Marx's Capital for The Fortnightly Review to which Professor Beesly was a contributor, (see Marx's letter TO ENGELS of 8 January 1868, present edition, Vol. 42). While working on the review, Engels wrote out excerpts from Capital, which later made up a synopsis (see Note 26). The review was written around 20 May-1 June 1868, but rejected by the editorial board (see present edition, Vol. 20).
- ↑ A reference to the first session of the Customs Parliament held between 27 April and 23 May 1868. The Customs Union Parliament—the guiding body of the Customs Union reorganised after the war of 1866 and the signing, on 8 July 1867, of a peace treaty between Prussia and the South German states, which provided for the establishment of this body. The Parliament comprised members of the North German Confederation's Reichstag and deputies from the South German states: Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg and Hesse. Bebel and Liebknecht were the two workers' deputies in it. It was to deal exclusively with issues of trade and customs policies; Bismarck's intention gradually to widen its jurisdiction by encompassing political questions was met with stubborn opposition from the South German representatives (see Note 62).
