[London,] 13 March 1895 
Dear Baron, 

Just to inform you in all haste that Plekhanov has misread or misun- 
derstood my letter. I have no intention whatsoever of concerning myself with 
Loria, and have written to tell Plekhanov > that he should not allow himself 
to be put off. Loria has written a reply to the preface* and only if absolutely 
necessary shall I write a few words in return, but that is all. Everything the 
chap has published has been sent me from Rome. 

I should be grateful if you were to send me Platter’s thing **'—I have 
already got W. Sombart’s—it is good.” I’m glad you should have used it as 
an excuse to stave off Enrico Ferri since the man’s quite incapable of writing 
about Volume II I. 

“ Loria, ‘L’ opera postuma di Carlo Marx’. In: Nuova Antologia, Anno XXX, fascicolo II I —1 
febbraio 1895 - ° W. Sombart, ‘Zur Kritik des 6konomischen Systems von Karl Marx’. In: 
Archiv für soziale Gesetzgebung und Statistik. Bd. 7, H. 4 

My preface has come out in Italian and is said to have made quite an 
impact.” 

Yours, 
F.E.
