London, 27 April* 1892 

Dear Mr Dietz, 

I agree to the terms proposed in your esteemed favour of yester- 
day’s date and shall later be sending you instructions regarding the 
amount of the fee. 

If I understand you aright, we are also agreed that, while the book 
is to be published as it stands, I am to write 1. a new preface and 2. 
a brief footnote here and there as required to make the book intelli- 
gible, not bring it up to date. 

This does not require express confirmation, provided my assump- 
tion is correct. 

I have kept a reserve copy for printing purposes and am sending 
you this by registered book post. 

With cordial regards, 

Yours faithfully, 

F. Engels
