Does anyone know where I can find complete Marx-Engels correspondence? I used solomon.tinyurl.alexanderstreet.com but it is not possible to access the site anymore. On MIA only selected correspondence is available.

This has the collected correspondance.

http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/letters/index.htm

The selected correspondance is listed as a separate section.

No, it doesn't. Only some of the letters can be read and while others are also listed on the pages for a particular year their content is not available. For example, Engels's letter to Friedrich Adolph Sorge (14 March 1883) which read "Marx died today" exists on the list for 1883 correspondence but cannot be opened. The letter is here (http://solomon.tinyurl.alexanderstreet.com/cgi-bin/asp/philo/soth/getdoc.pl?S10022505-D000250) but the site cannot be accessed. That's the case for overwhelming majority of letters.

You could try a library. Sometimes they have the actual books of Marx and Engels' collected works. My college library has all 50 volumes and has all of their correspondence. Most of the time, public libraries (if they're big enough and connected to enough other libraries) will be able to at least order the volumes for you from other libraries if they aren't large enough and have them already.
