Dear Citizen Mendelson, 

After my conversation with Mrs Mendelson yesterday evening 
I discovered an article in the Paris Socialiste!?° on the strength 
of which you could, I believe, write a letter to the English press 
regarding the matter Mrs Mendelson and Citizen Jodko spoke to 
me about. 

I have discussed the matter with Aveling and his wife.* They will 
be dropping in on you tomorrow morning. If you and Aveling would 
then care to fix a time for the two of you to do me the pleasure of call- 
ing here, we could compose a letter and arrange for it to appear in 
the press.'?° 

My compliments to Mrs Mendelson and Citizen Jodko. 

Yours very sincerely, 

F. Engels
