{[London,] 4 April 1872 

My dear Vaillant, 

I shall expect you tomorrow evening at 7 o’clock for dinner at 
my house with...© and some other friends. 

Yours ever, 
Karl Marx 

a Engels has £150, presumably a slip of the pen. See this volume, p. 294. - 
b Probably for reasons of secrecy Engels gives the initials of Charles Renshaw, a 
Manchester businessman of his acquaintance, as the name of the addressee. - 
¢ name illegible 

You would oblige me by lending me Villetard’s book (I don’t 
know the title)? in which there is a French translation of our 
manifesto on the civil war in France.
