ENGELS TO FLORENCE KELLEY-WISCHNEWETZKY

IN NEW YORK

London, 20 July 1887

Dear Mrs Wischnewetzky,

I have returned to you by this mail the whole of the two sets of reviews you sent me, with sincere thanks.^[1] They have greatly amused me.—Criticism is almost on the same level everywhere, from Stockholm and London to New York and San Prancisco, and since the rapid rise of a shoddy bourgeoisie in Russia I am afraid that even there the reviews will soon sink to the common level.

Yours sincerely

F. Engels
