Dear Sir, 

Mr Petzler told me you had written an article on my book The 
Capital and my life, to be reprinted together with other articles of 
yours, and that you desired me or Engels to correct any errors on 
your part.” I can of course not decide how far this is feasible 
before having got a copy of [the] said article. 

The best history of the Commune is Lissagaray’s: Histoire de la 
Commune. Its first edition, however, is exhausted and no second 
one yet published. The address of Lissagaray is: 35 Fitzroy Street, 
Fitzroy Square, London, W.; he may perhaps be able to procure 
you a copy of his work. 

En attendant,” I forward you the ‘Address’ on the Commune 
written by me immediately after its downfall on behalf of the 
General Council of the International. 

I shall also send you—if you do not yet possess it—by post a 
recent publication of my friend Engels: Herrn Eugen Dühring’s

Umwalzung der Wissenschaft, which is very important for a true 
appreciation of German Socialism. 

Yours truly, 

Karl Marx
