London, 24 March 1884 

Dear Kautsky, 

You'd do best to order Morgan’s book in America; the few copies 
printed for England in association with the firm of MacMillan ap- 
pear to be sold out or unavailable —I got mine second-hand and then 
only with difficulty. I don’t know the American publisher. Mine cost 
me 13/4d. 

When I can find time I shall get out something on it for you for the 

Neue Keit, provided you are willing to print a separate copy in pam- 
phlet form (it would be approx. 3 sheets); actually I am indebted to 
Marx for it and can incorporate his notes. '74 

I have now agreed with Meissner that the 2nd book of Capital 
should appear separately at first; the 3rd, * and the Theories of Surplus 
Value, 17' will then follow on as the second half of Volume II. This 
wil] get the thing moving more quickly. Time for the post. 

Your 

F.E. 

The Morris affair is of no significance; they are a muddle-headed 
lot. 794
