ENGELS TO GOTTLIEB LEMCKE

IN LONDON

[London,] 2 April 1881
122 Regent's Park Road, N. W.

Dear Mr Lemcke,

I have just heard that one of my brothers[1] will be passing through London with his family this evening, and this will mean my spending with them the few hours they will be pausing here. I therefore greatly regret that I shall be unable to take advantage of your kind invitation to the opening ceremony of the new club-house. 130 Hoping that the club will prosper and flourish, I remain

Yours very truly,

F. Engels
