AND AN UNKNOWN CORRESPONDENT °? 

[London,] 5 October 1880

Dear Oswald, 
Many thanks for the recommendations for Beust,? which have 

all been attended to. As regards Kaulitz, I got an identical letter — 

* Jenny Marx-> Marx paraphrases the German proverb ‘Des Menschen Wille ist 
sein Himmelreich’ corresponding to the English ‘The will of man is the arbiter of his 
fortune’.-* All yours-* Adolf von Beust 

25. Engels to Oswald and an Unknown Correspondent 37 

my reply on the reverse. As regards Br.,7 we are unlikely to 
quarrel. 

Ever yours 

F. Engels

Sir, 

Mr Kaulitz was introduced to me on his arrival in England last 
spring, by a letter from an old friend in Germany. The letter stated 
that Mr Kaulitz was of a very good family, his father being one of the 
first notaries in Brunswick (a position of much importance and great 
trust in Germany), and recommended him warmly to me. From what 
I have seen of him since, he appears to be a man of very great business 
abilities and to have succeeded very well, so far, in the scholastic line; 
but on this point no doubt the professional gentleman to whom Mr K. 
may have referred you, will be able to give you more satisfactory 
information. 

I am etc. 
F. E.*
