ENGELS TO HUGO LINDEMANN AND CARL STEGMANN

IN LONDON

122 Regent's Park Road, N.W., London, 6 October 1892

Dear Sirs,

In reply to your favour of 2.X, I have in the past frequently complied with requests of a similar nature from gentlemen who were quite unknown to me, but my experience in these cases has been such that unfortunately I have had to make up my mind to discontinue the practice. 4

As a result of an indisposition, moreover, I expect to be tied to my sofa for a considerable time to come and hence am in no condition to go searching in my library for old, seldom used periodicals.

In the circumstances I regret that I cannot oblige you in the way you wish and remain,

Yours very truly, F. Engels
