Dear Sir,
I have been commissioned by Dr Marx to acknowledge the receipt of the second half of the banknotes the first half of which arrived here Yesterday. Also to express his thanks for the photographs received this morning.[2]
As to the Biography which You intend writing, he says that as You have the necessary papers etc., You can commence it at once, while he writes to Dr Eisner for further materials.[3]
I think I have now said all I have been requested to say.
I am, dear Sir,
Obediently Yours,
L. M. Secretary
F. Engels Esq.
- ↑ This letter was written in reply to one from Engels dated 9 June 1864 (see this volume, pp. 539-40).
- ↑ Marx followed the movement for the emancipation of peasants in Russia using a variety of sources, among them the Prussian Allgemeine Zeitung. In the present case, he presumably drew on an article 'Rußland und Polen', reprinted in the Allgemeine Zeitung of 6 December 1859 (No. 340) from the Neue Hannoversche Zeitung, and the article by the Allgemeine Zeitung's St. Petersburg correspondent 'Zur russischen Leibeigenschaftsfrage und die Finanz- Verhältnisse des Staats', Allgemeine Zeitung, No. 3 (supplement) and No. 5 (supplement), 3 and 5 January, 1860.
- ↑ In connection with Marx's work on the biography of Wilhelm Wolff (see Note 617) Marx's wife had written, on his behalf, to the journalist K. F. M. Eis ner requesting him to send whatever information he had on Wolffs youth (see this volume, p. 589). Eisner failed to do so.
