London, 25 March 1883 

My dear Laura, 

Enclosed a letter from Meyer which was directed to Maitland 
Park*— Tussy opened it without looking at the address, but when 
she saw from whom it was, she gave it at once to Nim? who handed it 
to me. 

To-day Nim found among Mohr’s manuscripts a large parcel con- 
taining the best part if not the whole of the second volume of the Capi- 
tal??7 — above 500 pages in folio. As we do not yet know in what 
state of preparation for the press it is, nor either what else we may 
find, it will be better to keep this piece of good news out of the press 
for the present. 

Pumps is expecting No. 2 daily and nightly if indeed it has not ar- 
rived to-day — since Friday no news from her. No. 1* is a year old 
to-day. Jollymeier sends his love to you. Kind regards from both of us 
to Paul.* Tell him that the last No. of the Sozialdemokrat contains 
but the report of the funeral‘ — the same essentially which was in the 
Justice. * 

The English and German press have been inexact and badly in- 
formed but upon the whole decent. Even Malon was not so bad. 

Latest news. In walks Pumps and Percy#! So there the full 12 
months is happily passed. 

Most affectionately yours, 
F. Engels
