Dear Jung

In the whole of the financial year I find payments for Rent  
1871 Oct. 31 – Truelove £ 7.7.–  
& two payments to Martin " 5.–  
£ 12.7.–

but *no* payments to Truelove on leaving the *old shop*. Now this must have been paid – have you forgotten to enter it? Please write to the Hague to address on other side if this payment has been omitted on the books. I know last year at the Conference we owed six months Rent & now we owe none.

Yours fraternally  
F. Engels
