ENGELS TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEUE ZEIT

IN STUTTGART

[London,] 9 July 1894

At the request of Mr K. Kautsky and in reply to his inquiry from Hirsau on 7.7.94, I beg to inform you that Chapter of Das Kapital, p. 359, lines 9 and 10 from the top, should read: Welchen Rohprofit es ihm als fungierendes— Kapital... abwirft' ['what gross profit it yields to him as functioning capital'.] Likewise, on p. 368, line 3 from the top, the expression fungierendes Kapital ['functioning capital'] is correct.

Further, on p. 363, line 14 from the top, a comma may, in fact, be inserted after desselben ['of it'] in the sentence: in Form von denen das gesamte Kapital, abgesehen von dem in Geld existierenden relativ kleinen Teil desselben, vorhanden ist ['which make up the total capital outside of a relatively small portion of it, existing in money'], as this brings out the meaning better. 381

I am very pleased about the discovery of the printing error on P. 359, namely fungierendem in place of fungierendes, for which kindly convey my best thanks to K. Kautsky,

Yours very faithfully,

F. Engels
