ENGELS TO PASQUALE MARTIGNETTI

IN BENEVENTO

London, 21 December 1885

Dear Citizen,

I should be very pleased if you would undertake the translation of Marx's work Wage Labour and Capital. The information in the Socialiste[1] will barely suffice for the biography and I have therefore asked our friends in Zurich to send you a copy of the Brunswick Kalender,[2] which contains a more complete biography written by myself.[3]

Yours truly,

F. Engels

I shall of course be happy to carry out the revision, should you so desire.
