ENGELS TO MARX

IN VEVEY

London, 18 September 1882

Dear Moor,

Yourc and Laura's letter arrived at 9 o'clock in the evening; I at once went to impart what was necessary to Tussy and Lenchen.

We over here were also exceedingly perturbed by the false news of Bebel's death. 3 8 6 Since Saturday night there had been many indica- tions that it was false, and in the Justice, just received, there's a tele- gram from Liebknecht saying that, while Bebel had been dangerously ill, he was now on the mend.

At the same time I turned up most opportunely, the news having just been received that Jenny had had a baby girl 3 6 5 and that every- thing was going as well as could be expected.

When you go away from Vevey, leave an address (poste restante or something of the sort) for letters. Will write at greater length tomor- row or the day after.

Your

F. E.

Love to Laura.
