London, 29 November 1886 

Dear Kautsky, 

This morning a letter from Mrs Liebknecht wherein, on her hus- 
band’s advice, she informs me that she will be arriving day after to- 

morrow at Victoria Station via Flushing. As this question cropped up 
yesterday, I hasten to let you know and leave it to you to decide 
whether, as the only person acquainted with her, you are under any 
compulsion to go and meet her at the station in the middle of the 
night. Far be it from me to put any kind of pressure on you— I me- 
rely thought fit to acquaint you with this weighty Victorian fact. 

We have got some more beer in, if only I were allowed to drink it! 
Regards to your wife. 

Your 

F.E.
