ENGELS TO FILIPPO TURATI

IN MILAN

[London,] 18 March 1892

Dear Citizen Turati,

Thank you for the two copies of the illustrious one's reply which you were kind enough to send me. Needless to say, I have no intention of letting him have an answer, for if he didn't mean to discuss and didn't discuss the German Socialists, what were his reasons for quoting my article[1] and appending his comments to his quotations? It's more incoherent than ever, but to be charitable, one must suppose that he had totally forgotten what he had written in the Tribunal.

Kind regards,

F.E.
