ENGELS TO RUDOLF ENGELS

IN BARMEN

London, 12 September 1878

Dear Rudolf,

At half past one this morning my wife,[1] to whom I had been legally married the previous evening, died peacefully after a long illness.

I anticipate a number of additional expenses and, as my bank balance is somewhat low, you would oblige me by promptly sending me a remittance of about £200 at your earliest conveni- ence.

Your

Friedrich
