Engels was writing hence just before the start of Whitsun Week. Marx was in Manchester and visiting the seaside at Southport and then taking the waters at Buxton
Dear Moor,
This morning in bed the following dialectical points about the

1. T h e simplest form of motion is change of place (within time,

a) There is no such thing as the motion of a single body, but
relatively speaking one can talk of a falling body in such terms.
