ENGELS TO JAMES LEIGH JOYNES

IN LONDON

[Draft]

[London,] 30 July 1884

Dear Sir,

I am sorry I cannot at present give you my consent to a translation of my Entwicklung etc.[1] for To-Day, as I am bound by a previous engagement to another gentleman.[2]

As to my promise of an article for To-Day, that promise was given to Mr Bax and as far as I know Mr Bax is no longer one of the Editors of To-Day.[3]

Yours faithfully,

F. E.
