My dear Marx

Your note is just to hand.

I have not replied to the enquiries—made as to whether I voted for common property in Land and I dont intend doing so till I hear from you.

I send you a copy of the question put | to me.

“Was any resolution passed to which you were, or were not a party, against all private property in land?”

The above is the question & the first words of my reply will be.

 Siehe Engels an Marx, 1.11.1869.
Schließen
A resolution was passed
declaring ‘That society has a right to abolish private property in land & to convert it into common property & that there was a necessity for doing so’, and for this resolution I gave my vote most cordially.”

-----------------------------------------------

I then want to say | in a few words why Land ought to be made common property.

I would not have troubled you had the question only had reference to some opinion I had expressed apart from the International but as my reply will be placed in the hands of those who would by one means or another have to disgorge their | ill gotten acres, if land was made common property and as my vote was given at one of our Congresses I feel I ought to ask the advice of those who understood the question thoroughly before I was born.

I shall therefore wait till I hear from you

I am
yours truly
RApplegarth
