London, 14 June 1890 

Dear Schliiter, 

This is to advise you in much haste that you are welcome to reprint 
Marx’s biography—but I have no time to finish it. You will find mate- 
rial in, inter alia, Marx’s obituary in the Sozialdemokrat of March 1883.4 

Congratulations on becoming ‘chief’. 

So far everything is going well over here, as also in Germany, where 
little Willie> is threatening to abolish universal suffrage—what better 
could befall us! In any case we’re heading quite fast enough either for a 
world war or for a world revolution—or both. 

Kind regards to your wife—I’m glad to hear she’s in better health 
than she was over here. 

Your 
EE.
