London, 27 February 1874 

Dear Sorge, 

The things listed on the back of this letter were sent off to you 
today in a parcel addressed to F. A. Sorge, * General Secretary 
ILW.M. Association, 25 Hudson Street, Hoboken, N.J. via New York, 
per Continental Parcels Express Company (W. Wheatley & Co.— 

New York Agents: W.H. Bucknam & Co., 57 Broadway). 
Carriage forwarded, Value declared £10.* 

The British Frprrat Councit has become so lackadaisical that I 
have not yet managed to extract an official price for the English 
Rules* from them—only a postcarp from Barry saying, I THINK 
L'/op. wit. vo! 

I am charging 2 shillings each for the Alliances,” but in return 
am paying the carriage of those sent by post. 

I have to leave in an hour for a few days, so farewell and keep 
your chin up. Your police seem to want to outdo even those in 
Versailles. 

Your 
F. Engels
