London, 7 August 1870 

Dear Oswald, 

Iterum Crispinus.* 

Frederick Engels gives you permission to add his name to the 
Address,’ but notabene on the express condition that you print the same 
reservation word-for-word as under my name.” 

Yours, 
K. M. 

H. J. Rothschild, commergant (a German, i.e. a Prussian), gives 
the same permission on the same condition. 

Apropos. 1 take it that you did allow the passage to stand which 
hints at the defensive character of the war on the German side, 
albeit in an extremely diplomatic way?
