ENGELS TO FRIEDRICH ADOLPH SORGE

IN HOBOKEN

Plattsburg, N. Y., Tuesday,
11 September 1888

Dear Sorge,

Arrived here safely. We leave for the Adirondacks at 1 p.m. sharp, shall return tomorrow evening and then cross the lakes to the Hudson. Back in New York by Saturday[1] evening, I hope.

Should any letters have arrived for me, would you please forward them to the Narragansatt Hotel, Albany, but they must get there not later than Friday evening.

I hope you received my letter from Montreal.[2] Is your throat all right again?

Shall we see your son[3] in New York before we leave? All of us well and cheerful. Kindest regards from us all to you and your wife.[4]

Your

F. Engels
