[London], 7 February 1889 

Re the ms., there is absolutely no hurry.* So just do whatever suits you 
best. For the time being I shall be fully occupied with III> (about 1/3 is 
now done). L’Egalité comes out today in Paris as the successor to the Cri 
du Peuple, a daily; on it, besides Vaillant and his faction, are Lafargue, 
Guesde, Deville, perhaps others. Malon will doubtless have to be 
brought in as well. More anon as regards any other matters; today I 
simply wanted to get off a prompt reply to your main question. 
Warm regards to Louise—also from Nim. 

Your 
FE.
