ENGELS TO VERA ZASULICH

IN LONDON

London, 30 January 1895

Dear citizeness Vera,

I shall certainly be at home either tomorrow between 3 and 5, or Friday[1] from 3 to 4 in the afternoon, when I shall be happy to see you.

The book by G. Plekhanov[2] is quite to the purpose; today the newspapers announce that Nicholas has just declared to the Zemstvos he abides as firmly as his father by tsarist autocracy.[3] There is no remedy against the folly of princes. So much the better if Georgi has made a furore.

Always yours,

F. E.
