ENGELS TO PYOTR LAVROV

IN PARIS

London, 4 January 1894
122 Regent's Park Road, N. W.

My dear Lavrov,

Thank you for your card—please accept my best wishes for the New Year.

It would seem that, despite the harmony between Carnot and the tsar,[1] it will be the French, and not the outlawed Russians who will suffer persecutions and tribulations, the inevitable effect of anarcho-police bombs. So much the better. After all, there are signs that even the Parisian philistine would seem to be feeling just a little shame for his hysterical actions of last October.

Could you let me have the address of Mr. Rapoport, who has just returned to Switzerland?

Best regards from

F. Engels

There is finally some hope that you will receive the 3rd volume of Capital before the end of the year. The Russian translation will be done as for the 2nd volume. I will send the proofs to Danielson.
