ENGELS TO FLORENCE KELLEY-WISCHNEWETZKY?” 
18 September 1888 
Dear Mrs Wischnewetzky, 
We returned on Saturday? evening from our trip to Boston, Niagara, 
the St Lawrence, Adirondacks, Lakes Champlain and George, down the 

Hudson to New York City, we enjoyed ourselves very much and, all of 
us, brought home a stock of invigorated health which I hope will see us 

4 15 September 

well through the winter. To-morrow afternoon we are leaving per the 
City of New York and look forward to a little excitement, breakdowns 
of machinery and such like things, but hope to arrive, in spite of all, in 
8-9 days in London. I cannot leave America without again expressing 
my regret that unfortunate circumstances prevented me from seeing 
you more than once and but for a few moments. There are so many 
things that we should have talked over together, but it cannot be 
helped and I shall have to go on board without taking leave of you 
personally. Anyhow I do hope that the troubles you have gone 
through lately!*? will be the last, that your own health and that of Dr 
Wischnewetzky and the children will be all you can wish for. I shall 
be glad to hear soon again from you, and all your wishes shall have my 
best attention. 

I have some copies of the pamphlet* from Mrs Sorge, it is very cred- 
itably got up and so far I have discovered only two misprints. Please 
let me know how many copies you are sending me to England and how 
many I may distribute to the press; I believe it ought to be sent to all 
the chief dailies and weeklies in London and some in the provinces, 
also the monthlies. Of course, unless instructed to the contrary, I shall 
entrust the sale to Reeves. As he has accepted the agency for your 
American publication generally, his name might have been put on the 
title page; he will have to print a new title page and send in a bill for 
that. 

Hoping to see Dr Wischnewetzky in London on his return, I remain, 
dear Mrs Wischnewetzky, 

ever yours faithfully 
F. Engels
