ENGELS TO EDUARD BERNSTEIN

IN ZURICH

[London,] 23 April 1883

Herewith also the proofs.2 5 Your letter received; shall answer it this week with an article about Marx for the Sozialdemokrat. I still have all sorts of matters to deal with before I can finish it off properly.[1]

The little piece about the good Marx being led astray by the evil Engels has been performed countless times since 1844, alternating with the other little piece about Ormuzd-Engels being lured away from the path of virtue by Ahriman-Marx. Now, however, the eyes of the worthy Parisians will at last be opened.

Yours,

F. E.
