London, 9 August 1882 

Dear Old Man, 

I had no opportunity yesterday of taking out a money order for 
you. But I did so first thing today and you will be paid £5 sterling 

2 A. Loria, La legge di popolazione ed il sistema sociale, Siena, 1882 and La teoria del valore 
negli economisti italian, Bologna, 1882.- Karl Kautsky-° lodgings 

over there, which, according to the table, equals 126 frs. I was very 
glad to get another letter from you 35° and hear how you are getting 
on. I, too, would give I don’t know how much if you, Marx and 
I could foregather once more, but this year it’s unlikely I shall have 
any such luck. There might still be a chance of your seeing Marx this 
summer, but that depends on where the doctors send him. I shall 
have to postpone the rest of my reply for a day or two as it’s nearly 
time for the post and I still have to write at some length to Bernstein 
about this and that. 

In the meantime keep yourself hale and hearty as always. Kindest 
regards. 

Your old friend 
F. Engels
