E N G E L S TO KARL KAUTSKY
IN ZURICH
London, 1 August 1884
Dear Kautsky,
Have today returned Rodbertus' Zur Erkenntniss by registered mail, and trust it will arrive safely. After receipt of this, don't send any more letters here. I shall be going to the seaside 277 on Monday[1] and might even be able to send you my new address pro tempore tomor- row.
Rodbertus' book is indeed by far the best thing he ever wrote — youthful work in both the good and the bad sense — the original ver- sion of subsequent flimsier ones — shows how close he came to the thing, if he had only followed it up instead of setting his sights on Uto- pias. I am very glad indeed to have seen it. Time for the post and lunch.
Your
F.E.
Regards to Ede, the ex-epididymitician.
