A selection of Marx/Engels Correspondence has been uploaded to the Marx
Engels
Internet Archive. Of particular interest is an 1854 letter by Engels to the
New
York Daily News to be Military Correspondent for this paper. Additionally
there
are the usual range of personal health and money problems, the ups and downs
of
their comrades, problems getting published, progress of their studies and
much
discussion of military matters.

We've added Marx's 1965 Confession to the Marx Engels Internet Archive
"Confessions" were semi-jocular questionaires that were very popular in
Victorian England, and filling them out a common pastime in many families,
including Marx's, where friends and relatives particpated. A number of
versions
of Confessions belonging to Marx have been preserved.

The MIA would like to acknowlege the contributions of Nick Salmon, who died
recently at age 44. Nick was a scholar and tireless promoter of William
Morris's
work. He made available many of Morris's writings in print and also
collaborated
with MIA volunteer, Chris Croome, to set up the William Morris Internet
Archive.
Nick was interested in presenting the wide range of Morris's interest and
vision
which is reflected in the work he and Chris have done at MIA. More of Nick's
transcription work will soon be added to our Morris Archive.

The Women and Marxism Archive has added Supreme Soviet member M. Pichugina's
pamphlet Women in the U.S.S.R. Written in 1939, this is a report of the
status
of economic gains made by women since tsarist Russia, now under the
Stalinist
policy of "strengthening the family", which outlawed most abortions,
restricted
divorce, and paid out huge sums of money to women who gave birth to at least
seven children.
