London, 12 May 1892 

Dear Mr Dietz, 

I am in complete agreement with your proposal of the 9th inst. 
I for my part concede you the right, in so far as it is within my com- 
petence, to print 10,000 copies, in return for which you are to pay me 
the following fees: 

for 2,500 copies M. 500 in the autumn of 1892, after printing; 

25000 500 in the New Year of 1893; 

= 9,007 1,000 after printing this second half, but not 
later than 6 months after printing has begun. 

In view of your agreement with Wigand which is, after all, still 
very vague, I think you have chosen the right procedure. Whether 
you now stipulate one edition or decide to do several is your own af- 
fair. I of course am much more concerned with placing the work be- 
fore the public again than with the kudos of having numerous edi- 
tions. 

With cordial regards, 

Yours, 
F. Engels
