ENGELS TO WILHELM LIEBKNECHT

IN LEIPZIG

[London, 1 August 1890]

Dear Liebknecht,

Unfortunately I shan't be able to remain here until 15 August — we are probably going to the seaside at the end of next week; I shall write and let you know where as soon as this has been settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. Your statement has appeared in The People's Press[1] but it won't put a stop to the sniping in Justice.2 Those chaps are incorrigible; they want to force you people and myself to knuckle under to them and the Possibilists,3 but in that case they have a long wait ahead of them. They now possess an ally in the great Gilles — congratulations!

Your

F. E.
