ENGELS TO HERMANN LOPATIN[1]

IN PARIS

[London, about 20 October 1874]

...But such was not at all my intention. On the contrary, I toned down as much as I possibly could, because after perusing the pamphlet: Русской социально-революционной Молодежи I really could no longer bear any grudge to our friend for the uncommonly severe and really unjustifiable expressions he had used towards us. As far as I am concerned nous sommes quittes and I am ready to shake his hand any time if he takes the thing as easy as I do.
