London, 8 July 1884 

My dear Citizen Deville, 

Thank you for sending me your lectures '’?° — the last one reached 
me yesterday and I have not yet had time to read it. I have no doubt 
that it is no less excellent than its predecessors. I shall suggest to our 
friends that they translate them into German and publish them in the 
same way as you are doing in Paris; it’s precisely what we need for 
propaganda just now. 

Would you be so kind as to pass on the enclosed note to Lafargue 
without Mme Lafargue’s knowledge? He’ll tell you the reason for this — 
perfectly innocent, by the way. 

Yours ever, 
F. Engels
