ENGELS TO PASQUALE MARTIGNETTI

IN BERGAMO

London, 19 June 1891

Dear Friend,

Today I am sending you

1. registered, your manuscript of the translation of Wage Labour and Capital,[1]

2. corrected proofs of the new edition[2] separately by book post,

3. Labriola's letter enclosed herewith.

I'm busy revising the new edition of the Origin of the Family, etc. which will have numerous additions.

A new, complete edition of Wage Labour and Capital[3] will follow as soon as I have got one. The principal additions are marked in pencil on the proofs.

I trust you are getting on all right in Bergamo; l'è una bella città, la conossi — l'ha appresi di parla / Meneghin, lu?"[4] Saludi
