ENGELS TO FRIEDRICH ADOLPH SORGE1

IN HOBOKEN

[London,] 4 April 1890

In great haste. Am sending you Time containing my article. Beware of the German version in the Neue Zeit, which has been shamefully mangled. Will reappear in its correct form in the May issue.[1] Kindly inform Schlüter so as to ensure that the mangled version is not made use of over there in the Volkszeitung, say, or elsewhere. In Germany things are going ahead merrily; the débâcle has begun and little Willie[2] will doubtless make certain that it doesn't come to a standstill again. Schorlemmer is here and sends cordial greetings to you and your wife, as do I.
