My dear Lavrov, 

I am returning the proofs,?°? for which I thank you. I should have 
done so earlier had I not hoped to see you last night and to say Xpuc- 
TOCb, BOCKP€Cb AM OH?” 

Would you be so kind as to lend me the German manuscript of the 

* ferry-boats- Engels is using a Russian Easter greeting in an ironical form 

preface for a day or two? The Sozialdemokrat has asked us to send it to 
them and, since the thing has appeared in the Hapodnaa eona* (to 
which we are proud to find ourselves contributors), there can no long- 
er be any objection. 

Yours sincerely, 
F. Engels 

Our ideas seem to me to have been very well rendered.
