London, 21 March 1893 
Dear Comrade Radimsky, 

In reply to your esteemed note of the 18th inst., I can only tell you how 
glad I am that the Communist Manifesto will be appearing in Czech 
translation as well. '** It goes without saying that, so far as I am concerned, 
there is absolutely no objection at all; on the contrary, it will give not only 
me but also Marx’s daughters the utmost pleasure. 

But if Adler told you that I have a ‘command’ of the Czech language, he 
was, so far as I am concerned, pitching it a bit high. I am happy if, with 
much toil and the help of a dictionary, I can understand one column in a 
newspaper. Nevertheless I much look forward to the numbers of the 
Délnické Listy you have been so kind as to promise me. They’ll help me to 
keep my hand in rather better. 

With cordial regards to the Czech comrades and to you yourself. 

Yours truly, F. 

Engels
