That part is the most believable to me.

I could see Marx being on nickname basis with Engels, but instead of "Fred" it would be "Fritz" in German. I just figured maybe it was translated.

I could also very well see Engels being pissed at Marx too, maybe after a drunken night, and Marx being self-conscious about it. Who amongst us haven't been there? Haha

They used english in correspondence. Marx was calling Engels "Fred" in them. Example:
