Dear Citizen Mendelson, 

Last Sunday,* when we discussed the day and time at 
which it would be convenient for you to do me the pleasure of dining 
here, we were in such a hurry that, in order to avoid any misunder- 
standing, I had better repeat what I meant to say to you. 

I take it that I may expect you, that is to say you, Mrs Mendelson 
and Citizen Jodko on Thursday, the day after tomorrow, at six 
o’clock. It is possible that I didn’t express myself clearly enough in re- 
gard to the last named. If so, I would ask you to be so good as to re- 
quest him again on my behalf to do me the honour of coming.” 

My compliments, as also those of Mrs Kautsky, to Mrs Mendelson. 

Yours very sincerely, 

F. Engels
