London, 22 May 1883 

Dear Mr Klopfer, 

I should be only too glad to help you if I possibly could. However 
I have absolutely no publishing or literary connections in Germany 
and should not know whom to approach.* The party, however, still 
has various periodicals, etc., in Germany, e.g. Liebknecht’s and 
to give you letters for them. If anything can be done for you, it is 
over there; we here are as cut off from everything as you are in Ge- 
neva. 

Your letter of the 9th bears the Geneva postmark of the 13th. 
I hope that this will at least partly explain my delay in replying. 

* See previous letter. 

Trusting that the adoption of the above course will enable you to 
achieve your object, I remain, 

Yours truly, 

F. Engels
