London, 31 March 1886 

Dear Citizen, 

Many thanks for sending me the translation of The Poverty of 
Philosophy, which has been safely received. 

When opening the parcel I tore the part showing the sender’s ad- 
dress. After a good deal of trouble I managed to reassemble the pieces 
well enough to decipher the address I am using today. But since 
I don’t know whether I have read it correctly, I would ask you to ad- 
vise me of your address once again, as I should like to send you a copy 
of the Russian translation of Volume II of Capital, which has arrived 
from St Petersburg.57°

Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused by my 
clumsiness. 

Yours sincerely, 

F. Engels
