ENGELS TO LUDWIG KLOPFER

IN GENEVA

London, 22 May 1883

Dear Mr Klopfer,

I should be only too glad to help you if I possibly could. However I have absolutely no publishing or literary connections in Germany and should not know whom to approach.[1] The party, however, still has various periodicals, etc., in Germany, e. g. Liebknecht's and Kautsky's Neue £eit in Stuttgart (Dietz Verlag); you should get Becker to give you letters for them. If anything can be done for you, it is over there; we here are as cut off from everything as you are in Geneva.

Your letter of the 9th bears the Geneva postmark of the 13th. I hope that this will at least partly explain my delay in replying.

Trusting that the adoption of the above course will enable you to achieve your object, I remain,

Yours truly,

F. Engels
