London, 27 December 1890 

Dear Comrade, 

Mr Stinzleih has passed on to me the kind greetings conveyed by 
you on behalf of the delegates to the Congress, the representatives of 
596,000 German working men. There is no need for me to tell you in 
so many words how glad I was to be remembered at that Congress. 
Unfortunately I am unable to thank those concerned, who will by 
now have dispersed to all parts of Germany, and can do no more than 
express my sincere thanks to you, Mr Chairman, while giving you 
my firm assurance that, so long as it remains in my power, I shall per- 
severe in the struggle for the emancipation of the working class. 

Yours very sincerely, 

F. Engels
