Dear Citizen Mendelson, 

Herewith the preface.” It isn’t very much but unfortunately it’s all 
I can let you have at the moment. By the time the new edition of the 
Manifesto is published, I hope to know enough of your language 
to have no difficulty in keeping up with the Polish working men’s 
movement and shall then be able to speak more knowledgeably 
about it. 

I am sending you by the same post two American papers * relating 
to S. Padlewski’s suicide. 

4 Ever yours-> F. Engels, ‘Preface to the Polish Edition (1892) of the Manifesto of the 
Communist Party’.-° New Yorker Volkszettung and The Sun 

Kindly convey my compliments, as also those of Mrs Kautsky, to 
your wife.’ 

Yours sincerely, 

F.E.
