Engels
In april 1855, max's favorite son, edgar, died of his illness, which hit max hard and he felt he could hardly support himself. “in these days, i am able to endure all this terrible pain because i miss you at all times, because i miss your friendship and i hope that we will do something meaningful together.” engles brought the marx to manchester, and, with the careful arrangement and care of engles, the marx had the most difficult moments in their lives. Engels is already a “off-the-book” member of max's family, and every time he goes to max's house, his family is happy like a holiday. Of course, the marx family's concern for the health of engles is more of a entourage. In july 1857, when engels was ill, max wrote to comfort: “dear engels, you can believe that, no matter how unfortunate we are, my wife and i are more concerned about your recent health than about our own.” in more than 1,000 of their communications, the two old comrades, who, while working away from home, regularly communicate with each other and without reservation, share their feelings of anger and sorrow in their personal and political lives, have seen each other's affections, and have missed each other's letters for a few days. In a letter to engles, max wrote, "dear engles, are you crying or smiling, sleeping or awake? Over the past three weeks, i have sent a variety of letters to manchester without receiving a reply. But i believe it's all there." similarly, if we don't hear from marx for a few days, engles will be asking like "the old moor, the old moor, the big moor, what happened to you?" why can't you hear anything? What's wrong with you? What are you doing? Are you sick? Or are you in the abyss of political economics?" they speak freely, say and speak. In a letter to engus, dated 20 february 1866, he said: “how happy is this friendship between us, you know, i did not judge any relationship so highly.”
