ENGELS TO LUDWIG KUGELMANN

IN HANOVER

[London,] 25 January 1895

Dear Kugelmann,

I cannot yet give you an indication of the compendiums, etc., in which the articles in question may be found, for 1. I shall first have to[1] know what we have already got (some being in Germany, about which I shall shortly be hearing, and some in America, which I am waiting for), aside from my own things; 2. Because I myself cannot say exactly, though all sorts of things recur to me whenever any new stuff arrives; 3. Because, as soon as No, 1 has been attended to, we must so arrange matters that neither of us competes with the other, and thus puts the price up. In the meantime it would be a good thing if you were to keep an eye open for specifically Westphalian literature of 1845-47: Dampfboot[2] and compendiums as well as other stuff written by those people at that time.

I believe I have got Meyer's collection of Tribune articles here; it will be the more comprehensive of the two collections, Marx having obtained various things from over there shortly after Meyer's death.

Kindest regards to all,

Yours

F. E.
