LAURA MARX TO ENGELS 

{London,] 13 January 1868 

Dear Engels, 

As Mohr is once more being victimised by his old enemies, the 
carbuncles, and is, by the arrival of the latest, made to feel very ill 
at ease in a sitting posture, he has asked me to write you these 
lines in his stead. 

As regards the article for The Fortnightly Review,” I am to tell 
you that there is no question of a mere brief notice like the 
reviews of books generally found at the back of that periodical, 
but of an article of the length of those usually inserted. 

Also I am to beg you to send back, as soon as possible, the 
earlier numbers of the Courrier frangais.* 

With best regards from all of us and in the hope that the late 
frequent Christmas entertainments you have been ‘undergoing’ 
may not have interfered with your health, I remain, dear Engels, 

Affectionately yours, 
Laura Marx
