ENGELS TO GERSON TRIER[1]

IN COPENHAGEN

London, 23 March 1887
122 Regent's Park Road, N.W.

Dear Mr Trier.

The three copybooks of your MS. just received with thanks, though I regret that it will not be possible for me to have a look at them before the end of this week. I shall, however, set about it as soon as the slight inflammation of the eyes, from which I am now suffering, permits and shall be glad if you will come and see me on your return from Copenhagen.

Yours very sincerely,

F. Engels

  1. ↑ Engels is replying to Trier's letter of 22 March 1887 in which Trier informed him that he was sending the manuscript of his Danish translation of Engels' The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, and asked for Engels' opinion. The translation, revised by Engels, appeared in Copenhagen in 1838.
