ENGELS TO CARL HIRSCH

IN LONDON

[London,] 17 February 1880

Dear Hirsch,

Many thanks for the banker's letter which I return herewith. But I have not the faintest idea what can be meant by 'negotiated à 340'e. I can discover no rational connection whatever between this figure and German or Austrian currency. If the man would tell us how many marks he thinks he will be able to get for 200 Austrian gulden,

on corpus (body) and corpus delicti (substance of the offence).

Borkheim could decide what to do, and I think he would probably send them to him for realisation.

Your

F.E.
