Engels to Karl Kautsky

in Vienna

The MS.! is in no hurry.^1 So arrange things entirely as best suits you. For the present I am still fully occupied with III^2 (about 1/3 finished so far). Today the “Egalité” appears in Paris as successor to the “Cri du Peuple”, daily; besides Vaillant and his faction, Lafargue, Guesde, Deville, perhaps others. Malon will probably have to be taken over as well.^78 All else soon; today I just wanted to dispose straight away of the main question you raised. Warm regards to Louise also from Nim.

Yours,
F. E.
[London] 7 Febr. 89
