ENGELS TO ELEANOR MARX-AVELING
IN LONDON
Eastbourne, 4 July 1895
4 Royal Parade
My dear Tussy,
The Glasgow affair[1] might be a trap—maybe something else, as the people hardly will be in a position to follow the offerings seriously.
As for your translation,[2] there indeed I do pity you. Where is the poor girl to have picked up the necessary knowledge for such work!
Here everything 'as you were', as the military command says. Louise and baby and nurse came yesterday. I am much as usual, that is to say subject to all sorts of variations of temper and spirits. That will last for some time yet to come. Either Louise or myself will keep you informed of how I go on. Love to you both.
F. E.
Laura left yesterday morning as arranged.
