Dear Mr Scheu, 

Thanks to the diligence of Mrs Kautsky who over the past weeks 
has sorted out a whole pile of Marx’s letters, I am today able to send 
you 2 signatures of Marx’s.??! 

The one at the foot of the English draft of the letter is the clearest. 
On the other hand you might perhaps consider reproducing the four 
lines in the German draft from ‘T need, etc.’ to ‘available’ including 
all deletions and alterations so as to give an example of his handwrit- 
ing (and at the same time of the way in which he worked). At any 
rate I can’t supply you with anything better, that is to say without 
corrections and, as it were, tailored to your requirements. ‘This I leave 
to you, as also to whether you include the words ‘Yours very truly’ and 
‘Dear Sir’ and/or the date. 

I should be grateful if you would return the letters. 

It will always be a pleasure to see you here. In any case I should 
like to see you again before you start on my new portrait, for a pe- 
culiar snag has cropped up as regards the photographs by Deben- 
ham, and this in the quite literal sense. 

With best wishes from Mrs Kautsky and 

Yours respectfully, 

F. Engels
