Paris, 5 April 1848 

Dear Citizen, 

During the last two days of our stay in Paris we presented 
ourselves at your house several times. But we always found your 

offices* so crowded with people that our all too limited time 
prevented us from taking our turn and waiting. We therefore 
regret that we have to leave without having had one last interview 
with you. 

Mr Ewerbeck, who will be delivering this, will take it upon 
himself to inform us of the address we should use when writing to 
you.) 

We do not doubt for one instant that we shall shortly be able to 
give you favourable news of the progress of the communist 
movement in Germany. 

Meanwhile, please accept our respectful greetings. 

Yours very sincerely 
K. Marx, F. Engels
