[London,] 23 April 1883 

Herewith also the proofs. ?5 Your letter received; shall answer it 
this week with an article about Marx for the Sozialdemokrat. I still 
have all sorts of matters to deal with before I can finish it off proper- 
ly. 26 

The little piece about the good Marx being led astray by the evil 
Engels has been performed countless times since 1844, alternating 
with the other little piece about Ormuzd-Engels being lured away 
from the path of virtue by Ahriman-Marx. Now, however, the eyes of 
the worthy Parisians will at last be opened. 

Yours, 
F. E.
