ENGELS TO ELEANOR MARX-AVELING*”° 

Eastbourne, 4 July 1895 
4 Royal Parade 

My dear Tussy, 

The Glasgow affair °'’ might be a trap—maybe something else, as the 
people hardly will be in a position to follow the offerings seriously. 

As for your translation, °'* there indeed I do pity you. Where is the poor 
girl to have picked up the necessary knowledge for such work! 

Here everything ‘as you were’, as the military command says. Louise and 
baby and nurse came yesterday. I am much as usual, that is to say subject to 
all sorts of variations of temper and spirits. That will last for some time yet to 
come. Either Louise or myself will keep you informed of how I go on. Love 
to you both. 

F.E. 

Laura left yesterday morning as arranged.
