[London], 26 September 1889 

Thanks for the Volkszeitung, etc. I was much tickled by the revolution 
in a tea-cup you have had over there.*°! May possibly be a turn for the 
better. The progress of Nemesis is slow but sure and, by a quirk of 
history, it’s the very people who have always relied on the support of the 
New Yorkers against the bulk of the party, especially that in the West, 
who are now being overthrown by the New Yorkers. 

Haven’t heard a word from the Russian.* Will return his postcard in 
my next.‘ 

If I’m writing no more than a postcard it’s because there’s so much 
work to do. Awaiting me on my return from Eastbourne was the news 
that a fourth edition of Capital, Vol. 1, was wanted. Though only a few 
alterations and additional notes will be needed, they will have to be 
selected and worked out all the more carefully, and the printed text will 
require a minute scrutiny in order that no distortion of the sense slips 
through. Again, the references to Book III will now have to be made 
more precise.

The dock strike? was magnificent. Tussy was involved and worked 
like a Trojan and the envy aroused by the position she thus gained is 
already becoming apparent in sundry quarters. I am sending you 
Harney’s article which was quoted in the Labour Elector? The old 
chap’s laid up 12 miles away from here; in August he almost gave up the 
ghost, but is now better. Lenchen thanks you for the Kalender and 
sends her regards. In France Guesde has a chance of getting in on the 
second ballot. Unfortunately I have no precise news about the elections. 
Kindest regards to your wife and to the Schliiters. 

Your 
FE.
