Eastbourne, 24 August 1886 
4 Cavendish Place 

My dear Laura, 

This morning I receive your letter of the 20th from London with 
a perfect avalanche of other letters and papers——I cannot therefore 
do to-day more than send you the cheque £/5. - 

Old Becker * writes that he will be here (in London) with the van 
Kols’ by 12th September. 

 Johann Philipp Becker 

Countess Guillaume-Schack who was here only a month ago writes 
she will be here about 15 September with the Wischnewetzkys 
(male Russian, female Yankee). 

Liebknecht writes he may leave for London to-morrow. As soon as 
he lets me know date of arrival, I shall go to London to see Edward 
and Tussy before their departure °°! and bring Liebknecht over here 
for a few days—we return to London 4 September. 

Glad to see that Vierzon °'° is exploited again like Decazeville. 

The other day a postcard came from Schorlemmer from Bellaggio, 
Lake of Como. 

Love from Nim, the Pumpses and yours affectionately, 
F. Engels
