London, 21 December 1885 

Dear Citizen, 

I should be very pleased if you would undertake the translation of 
Marx’s work Wage Labour and Capital. The information in the Social- 
aste will barely suffice for the biography and I have therefore 
asked our friends in Zurich to send you a copy of the Brunswick Kalen- 
der,* which contains a more complete biography written by myself. ° 

Yours truly, 
F. Engels 

I shall of course be happy to carry out the revision, should you so 
desire.
