ENGELS TO FRIEDRICH ADOLPH SORGE

IN HOBOKEN

London, 11 January 1887

Herewith, registered, the English translation of Das Kapital.*'[1] Last week I sent you 1 parcel—2 Commonweals, 1 To-Day, etc. More to follow. Just received the New York Herald with the beastly article about the Avelings; this is most valuable for us since the Avelings would otherwise have still been unaware of the pack of lies the bourgeois papers over there are making up about them. The Avelings got back a week ago. both of them very well and cheerful. The Lafargues are also here and send you their kindest regards. Capital is going terrifically well here and supplies for America are in hand. That will soon show the Yankees what our standpoint is.

A Happy N e w Year.

F. E.
