25 October, 2002: Added to the Marx-Engels Correspondence for 1868: 48 new letters (including some which were formerly presented just as abstracts)

In April/May, Engels was writing a Review of Capital for the Westminster Review, and for his own purposes, compiling a Synopsis of Capital. The collection includes a priceless exchange of letters between Marx and Engels at this time, as Engels questions some aspects of Marx’s theory and Marx explains it, he also encourages Engels not to oversimplify, and talks about his plans for Volume III.
The remaining letters mostly deal with the International Workingmen’s Association and the emerging
conflict with Bakunin. We also see the beginnings of Marx’s reflections on developments in Russia.
