ENGELS TO JOHANN PHILIPP BECKER
IN GENEVA
London, 24 December 1880
Dear Old Man,
This is to advise you in all haste that I have taken out a money order for you for five pounds sterling = 126 frs, which I trust you will receive.
When Liebknecht was here 6 ° I hauled him over the coals for hav- ing failed so much as to consider you when distributing the relief fund. I told him you were just as much, if not more, a victim of the Anti-Socialist Law ' 6 as many of the Berliners, amongst whom there are some notorious blackguards. Now he has written to say: Becker will be cared for. So make sure this is done and, if not and supposing it embarrasses you to dun them, drop me a line and I'll see to it for you.
Better luck in the New Year.
Your old friend,
F. Engels
