ENGELS TO KARL KAUTSKY
IN STUTTGART
Berlin, 25 September 1893
Dear Baron,
I cannot possibly allow the letter in question to be launched upon the world without an introduction.[1] Our opponents would at once gleefully set about both writer[2] and recipient[3] and it's going to cause enough of a scandal as it is. But not having the letter here, I cannot write an introduction. You people ought to have seen to this beforehand; I shall not be able to do anything about it before the 30th or the 1st of October.
Regards,
Your
F.E.
