Manchester, 11 March 1865 

Dear Moor, 

Schweitzer’s brazenness really is ludicrous. But it does show how 
hard he has been hit by our withdrawal” and how well he knows 
that very much depends on it for his petty paper. After Herwegh 
and Riistow have come out in support. of our statement, anything 
can happen. Schweitzer will soon become aware of the effect his 
big talk has had, especially on the Rhine. Siebel has done a capital 
job in circulating the pamphlet. The Bonner Zeitung has twice 
published long extracts already and is intending to produce still 
more. The Rheinische has also got a long extract as well. Our 
standing with the Rhineland workers being what it is, this 
agitation-by-clique against us won't get very far. 

Siebel had already sent me the little piece from the Neue 
Frankfurter Zeitung.’” Student Blind as always. He is having to 
make a couple of phrases of Lassalle’s last a whole year. I haven’t 
received the lackey' yet. 

The legacy business is complete, the Lawyer will send the 
statement of account next week, he has still got approx. 10s. to 
collect in or pay out, he wasn’t sure which. So, I can send you the 
money on Monday then.* Meanwhile, my statement of account 
enclosed, according to which another £% approx. are due to you. 

The ideas Liebknecht has about Manchester! He has got nothing 
to gobble and asks me what a house ‘with garden costs here! The 
fellow is simply soft in the head. Schweitzer, he said, could not sell 
himself to Bismarck because he would have been obliged to use the 
good offices of the beastly old woman.’ 

I’m finding the new movement a terrible fag, by the way. It’s 
the devil’s own job letter-writing in the evening as well for the 
party and publisher, etc., until 1 or 2 o’clock, after letter-writing 
all day at work.

Siebel has sent me Lange’s pamphlet.* Confused, Malthusian 
with some Darwinian ingredients, flirting with all and sundry, but 
several good passages against Lassalle and the bourgeois consum- 
ers’ co-op fellows. Til send it to you in the next few days. 

Schily’s letter also returned enclosed which I found most 
entertaining. Our old comrade is turning himself into a very 
useful diplomat.’ How did the two of you settle the dispute? 

It's impossible to get anywhere with Jones. Hardly are the 
sessions over when the Assizes begin. THE TRADE IN CRIME SEEMS HIGHLY 
FLOURISHING. 

Adios, and my kindest regards to the ranirs.
