ENGELS TO FLORENCE KELLEY-WISCHNEWETZKY!”° 

London, 28 May 1887 

Dear Mrs Wischnewetzky, 

I find both in Justice and Sozialdemokrat of this week a notice of the 
English Lage,* but have myself up to now not received a single copy, nor 
even seen the book. There seems to be some queer management some- 
where, which may want looking into by you.—Just this moment Karl 
Kautsky comes in and says he has received a box with 18 copies, of 
which he kindly places a few at my disposal, so that I have at least a 
chance of a look at the book. 

I am informed that the London Agent? of Mr Lovell is the firm which 
specially represents Bismarckism in the London Book Trades. This 
cannot of course be helped but is an unfortunate circumstance for us. 
Translation of preface!!! just too late for this Steamer, per next mail 
certain. 

Yours faithfully 
RE,
