ENGELS TO KARL KAUTSKY
IN LONDON
[Jersey,] 6 September 1885
Dear Kautsky,
We leave here[1] on Thursday[2] and therefore hope to see you both at our house on Sunday as usual. The Volks-Zeitung and[3] received with thanks. The chap wants to ingratiate himself with his papa.[4] The latter, however, has better things to do. Not content with having created a French republic in 1870,[5] he must now do his utmost to create a Spanish one.[6] I hope he succeeds. What jackasses these great men are!
Kindest regards to your wife and yourself from all of us.
Your
F.E.
